Proposal
We would like to request the ability to customize the default template for CI/CD pipelines when creating the initial .gitlab-ci.yml in a project:
This would allow us to provide our developers with a company-specific default template that contains jobs for common tasks and settings for the infrastructure. And it would help our developers get started more quickly and reduce the amount of time spent on support requests.
As the GitLab support told us, the current default template, Getting-Started.gitlab-ci.yml, is not customizable (i. e. it will be "rolled back" with each update) and editing (these) files in the filesystem is not recommended.
The same would also be desirable for the README.md template for new projects.
