[Job artifacts](https://docs.gitlab.com/ci/jobs/job_artifacts/)

---
# Creation
Expose via 
```
artifacts:
  path:
    - blaat.txt
```
 > path is relative to repository where job was created
 
 Wildcards can be used: `*` in the path.
 Expiry can be set, ie: `expire_in: 1 week`.
`artifacts: name` to explicitly name the artifact.
# Using
Artifacts are downloaded into the job's working directory by default. If one specifies either: `dependencies` or `needs` only artifacts of jobs of those are downloaded.
`dependencies` only specifies which artifacts to download whereas `needs` also defined the relationship between jobs.
To prevent downloading dependencies at all just set `dependencies: []`.

Example:
```
dependencies:
  - build-gobs
  - build-goba
```

They can also be downloaded over http. Using the job token is allowed.
