### before_script
`before_script` is used to define the command that should be run before all builds, including deploy builds. This can be an array or a multiline string.
 
### types
`types` is used to define build types that can be used by jobs.
The specification of `types` allows for having flexible multi stage pipelines.
### stages
`stages` is used to define build stages that can be used by jobs.
The specification of `stages` allows for having flexible multi stage pipelines.
 
The ordering of elements in `types` defines the ordering of builds' execution:
The ordering of elements in `stages` defines the ordering of builds' execution:
 
1. Builds of the same type are run in parallel.
1. Builds of next type are run after success.
1. Builds of the same stage are run in parallel.
1. Builds of next stage are run after success.
 
Let's consider the following example, which defines 3 types:

There are also two edge cases worth mentioning:
 
1. If no `types` is defined in `.gitlab-ci.yml`, then the types `build`, `test` and `deploy` are allowed to be used as job's type by default.
2. If a job doesn't specify `type`, the job is assigned the `test` type.

### type
`type` allows to group build into different stages. Builds of the same `type` are executed in `parallel`.
For more info about the use of `type` please check the [types](#types).
### stage
`stage` allows to group build into different stages. Builds of the same `stage` are executed in `parallel`.
