# GitLab CI Pipeline Cost Estimator

Estimates CI/CD pipeline costs by querying the GitLab REST API v4 for job durations, runner types, and compute minutes. Maps shared vs self-hosted runner usage against GitLab pricing tiers.

## Installation

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- Please see the [requirements documentation](doc/install/requirements.md) for system requirements and more information about the supported operating systems.
- The recommended way to install GitLab is with the [Omnibus packages](https://docs.gitlab.com/install/package/) on our package server.
- Compared to [a self-compiled installation](https://docs.gitlab.com/install/self_compiled/), this is faster and less error prone.
