For more examples, view the [keyword reference for the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file](../yaml/index.md#artifacts).
### Use CI/CD variables to define the artifacts name
You can use [CI/CD variables](../variables/index.md) to dynamically define the
artifacts file's name.
For example, to create an archive with a name of the current job:
```yaml
job:
artifacts:
name: "$CI_JOB_NAME"
paths:
- binaries/
```
To create an archive with a name of the current branch or tag including only
the binaries directory:
```yaml
job:
artifacts:
name: "$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME"
paths:
- binaries/
```
If your branch-name contains forward slashes
(for example `feature/my-feature`) it's advised to use `$CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG`
instead of `$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME` for proper naming of the artifact.
To create an archive with a name of the current job and the current branch or
tag including only the binaries directory:
```yaml
job:
artifacts:
name: "$CI_JOB_NAME-$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME"
paths:
- binaries/
```
To create an archive with a name of the current [stage](../yaml/index.md#stages) and branch name:
```yaml
job:
artifacts:
name: "$CI_JOB_STAGE-$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME"
paths:
- binaries/
```
If you use **Windows Batch** to run your shell scripts you must replace
`$` with `%`:
```yaml
job:
artifacts:
name: "%CI_JOB_STAGE%-%CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME%"
paths:
- binaries/
```
If you use **Windows PowerShell** to run your shell scripts you must replace
`$` with `$env:`:
```yaml
job:
artifacts:
name: "$env:CI_JOB_STAGE-$env:CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME"
paths:
- binaries/
```
### Exclude files from job artifacts
Use [`artifacts:exclude`](../yaml/index.md#artifactsexclude) to prevent files from
being added to an artifacts archive.
For example, to store all files in `binaries/`, but not `*.o` files located in
subdirectories of `binaries/`.
```yaml
artifacts:
paths:
- binaries/
exclude:
- binaries/**/*.o
```
Unlike [`artifacts:paths`](../yaml/index.md#artifactspaths), `exclude` paths are not recursive.
To exclude all of the contents of a directory, match them explicitly rather
than matching the directory itself.
For example, to store all files in `binaries/` but nothing located in the `temp/` subdirectory:
```yaml
artifacts:
paths:
- binaries/
exclude:
- binaries/temp/**/*
```
## Download job artifacts

1. On the top right of the job's log, select **Erase job log** (**{remove}**).
1. On the confirmation dialog, select **OK**.
## Expose job artifacts in the merge request UI
Use the [`artifacts:expose_as`](../yaml/index.md#artifactsexpose_as) keyword to expose
[job artifacts](../pipelines/job_artifacts.md) in the [merge request](../../user/project/merge_requests/index.md) UI.
For example, to match a single file:
```yaml
test:
script: ["echo 'test' > file.txt"]
artifacts:
expose_as: 'artifact 1'
paths: ['file.txt']
```
With this configuration, GitLab adds a link **artifact 1** to the relevant merge request
that points to `file1.txt`. To access the link, select **View exposed artifact**
below the pipeline graph in the merge request overview.
An example that matches an entire directory:
```yaml
test:
script: ["mkdir test && echo 'test' > test/file.txt"]
artifacts:
expose_as: 'artifact 1'
paths: ['test/']
```
