+# CI tags
+
+You can add various tags in the commit message of your last commit  to modify
+the continuous integration behaviour for your merge requests:
+
+* `[ci:skip-build]`: Do not build modified packages, only verify their
+  checksums. Use this when pushing changes to an MR that should not trigger a
+  complete build.
+* `[ci:ignore-count]`: Allow skipping the "too many packages changed" check.
+  Use this when automatically modifying many device packages.
+* `[ci:skip-vercheck]`: Do not verify if the version of a changed package has
+  been increased. Use this, when making a cosmetic change in an APKBUILD that
+  should not cause the package to get rebuilt, or when changing the enabled
+  architectures.
+* `[ci:skip-kconfigcheck]`: Do not check the kernel config for packages
+  changed in the commit. Use this when moving kernel packages between
+  categories or performing bulk changes across a lot of kernel packages, but
+  never when upgrading the kernel.
+* `[ci:skip-dint]`: Do not run the device-linter check. Use this when moving
+  or modifying many devices not maintained by you that due to historical reasons
+  might not pass the check.
+* `[skip ci]`: Completely skip the pipeline for the merge request. This is a
+  GitLab [feature](https://docs.gitlab.com/ci/pipelines/#skip-a-pipeline). Use
+  this only in very extreme situations where CI might be broken, but a change is
+  needed to fix critical bugs. Whenever possible, try to use the other tags.
