CI/CD with KiCad and Gitlab
I found KiBot configuration a bit overwhelming and with the addition of the ‘kicad-cli’ tool in KiCad 7 made a Makefile based runner: https://github.com/tuna-f1sh/kicad-makefile
It allows for a build that is closer to the vanilla KiCad GUI experience and can be built locally with the normal install using ‘make’ - something I wanted.

KiCad Project Makefile
The first thing of thought of with kicad-cli is a Makefile include. It's developed into kicad-makefile. It does everything I want, except DRC/ERC but hopefully that will come. Perhaps others on here will find it useful and can contribute. See the README for info on how to use it and integrate with GitHub actions.

I have done something similar, and have also successfully used the outputs with JLCPCB's assembly service, if you want something similar that's been tested and works:
