[JIRA] [git] (JENKINS-23663) Allow git branch merging in the Build section as a step

Wed, 02 Jul 2014 17:19:30 -0700

From my point of view it would allow scripting that I can't do now. Tried even EnvInject with little success.

Our setup is a bit unique:

  • Multiple git repos (master and team repos)
  • Release branches with version numbers embedded (release-1.0, release-1.1, release-2.0, ...)
  • Team release branches (possibly across repos) - (team1-1.0, team1-1.1, team2-1.0,...)

There are several use-cases I am trying to automate.

Here is one of them:

  • We monitor release-* branches (yes, wildcard in the job configuration).
  • I need to push that release-* branch into team1-* branch with the same version number. Basically expand the wildcard and do search/replace.

Other possible use case:

  • Merging release-* branch into a later release as part of automation. (release-1.0.1 => release-1.1 or release 2.0)
    This presents a possible conditional step. Lets say that we don't push 1.0 release changes upstream anymore, so then we can create an exclusion rule to exclude 1.0 from the release "upgrade" merge/push.
