**`Note:`** CI jobs that run the tests are restricted to the [original omnibus-gitlab repository](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab) and hence, they will not be run on its forks. Contributors who develop on their own forks should configure the CI jobs (refer `.gitlab-ci.yml` file for details) themselves.
**`Note:`** Ensure shared runners are enabled for your fork in order for our automated tests to run.[^1]
