Hi everyone,

Just my two cents here...

I think the tendency nowadays is to add these tools to build the code to
the repository itself. See Gitlab yamls or Github action file that can
declare the compile+test phase for the CI.

Gitlab docs perfectly sums up why I think it can be a better choice to
include it next to the code:

Also I recommend reading the article.

Regards,
Adam
