How to publish your Astro Site with GitLab Pages

This post provides a step-by-step guide on how to publish an Astro site using GitLab Pages. It details configuring Astro for GitLab Pages by adjusting `astro.config.mjs` to set `outDir` to 'public' and `publicDir` to 'static', and configuring the `base` and `site` properties for correct asset loading. It also outlines the process of setting up a remote repository on GitLab, creating a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file using the Pages wizard with a 'node:lts' build image, and configuring `npm ci` and `npm run build` commands for the pipeline. The post emphasizes the role of the `pages` job in GitLab CI/CD for deploying artifacts from the 'public' directory.
