In GitLab 11.11, we announced the
deprecation
of the Windows Batch executor,
cmd
shell, for the GitLab Runner in favor
of
PowerShell
. The
cmd
shell remains included in future versions
of GitLab Runner however, any new feature for Windows is to be tested and supported
only for use with PowerShell. Only critical bugs and regressions to the
cmd
shell
will be investigated and fixed.
