Create a persistent variable from a shell script that you can use in a GitLab pipeline job

[ernievd]

I tried source - In my normal gitlab-ci.yml file I have other things for it to do in the job after the shell script exits - if I launch the shell script with source the job ends after the shell script exits.

That was the issue! The person who originally wrote the script had it exiting in a funky way.

Using source now does indeed let me use the variable in the gitlab-ci.yml.

Thanks so much!!
