GitLab config: Job 'build' is manually triggered

To fully benefit from the advantages of CI/CD, developers need to follow certain principles. Many of these principles have been introduced in the landmark book Continuous Delivery: Reliable Software Releases through Build, Test, and Deployment Automation and are nowadays widely accepted. One of these principles is:

The build process has to be fully automated. Manual steps might introduce errors and delay the delivery of code changes to the clients.

Problem: We analyzed your project and found that the job build in your GitLab config (line 4) violates this principle, because it is set to be executed manually.

build:
    ...
    when:manual
    ...

Suggested Fix: Remove when:manual from the job definition to execute the job on every build.
