Setup guide for use with Gitlab

[bernardcooke53]

Please describe your problem. Include links to any relevant pages or files.

E.g. #659

Docs are heavily oriented towards use with GitHub - should have a dedicated page for help setting up with Gitlab (what configuration needs to be set etc).

A nice-to-have would be a "how to use in Gitlab CI" page with similar content to the advice provided for use in GitHub Actions but this can be a separate issue

Just finished a complete setup on a self-managed instance of gitlab anc I can confirm that working with the current documentation has been a challenge. Most of the answer are available deep in github issues comments but it would be awesome to have a better support.

@BastLast is your changelog complete? When I run on the pipeline, I get only few commits (while locally it runs for long time). I tried setting GIT_DEPTH: 0 or GIT_STRATEGY: clone but I still get partial results.

Mine was complete after changing those settings

@BastLast any chance I could get a snippet of the steps you're doing in the script ? I want to check if I'm missing something.

semantic-release:
stage: release
image:
name: python:3.10.0
entrypoint: [""]
variables:
GIT_STRATEGY: clone
tags:
- docker
script:
- git config --global user.email $GIT_mail
- git config --global user.name $GIT_username
- git remote set-url origin https://$GIT_username:$GL_TOKEN@repourl
- git checkout main
- python -m pip --no-cache-dir install poetry twine
- poetry config (artifactory authentication)
- poetry install
- poetry run semantic-release version
- poetry run poetry build
- twine upload

i changed a few things because security / closed source software but that's pretty much the whole script

Thanks this worked. I'll try to see if I can PR some documentation!
