Monorepos host multiple application codes within a single GitLab repository, and configuring CI/CD pipelines for each application used to be complex. Without extending hidden jobs, GitLab 16.4 introduces a new approach with `include` and `rules:changes`, simplifying pipeline configuration and reducing redundancy. This update allows for independent application pipelines that trigger based on changes to specific directory source codes.
