Update GitLab CI Configuration to Decode Commitizen Deploy Key

The GitLab CI configuration needs to be updated to properly handle the Commitizen deploy key (CZ_DEPLOY_KEY) which has been base64 encoded for masking purposes.

Current Configuration

echo "${CZ_DEPLOY_KEY}" | tr -d '\r' | ssh-add - > /dev/null

Required Change

echo "${CZ_DEPLOY_KEY}" | base64 -d | tr -d '\r' > ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Technical Details

  • The CZ_DEPLOY_KEY is currently stored in base64 format
  • The new configuration will decode the key before storing it in the SSH directory
  • This change is necessary to maintain proper key masking in the CI logs

Implementation Notes

  • Update the CI configuration file
  • Ensure proper permissions are set on the decoded SSH key
  • Verify the deployment process works correctly after the change
