GitLab CE - How to disable CI/CD Pipelines on all Projects by default?

I want to disable CI/CD in GitLab CE.

I know this can be done on a per Project basis, but I would like to set it to be off by default, such that when new projects are created, CI/CD is not automatically enabled.

Is this possible?

To achieve that you need to be an admin,

• go to the admin area
• in the left panel go to settings
• choose CI/CD
• then you wanna expand "Continuous Integration and Deployment".
• finally uncheck the "Default to Auto DevOps pipeline for all projects" checkbox.

PS: Don't forget to save the modifications
