When we push some changes to github we can use Github services to trigger a build. Does the service provide the commit id?
Do you know how I can get that information?
I need the commit it to trigger the build for that specific id. (Passing the commit id in the field "Branch Specifier (blank for 'any') ").
As described here git plugin but seems I'm not receiving the commit id from git.
I see my commit id in the post build actions, but not at the moment of the cheking out the code.
Thanks in advance.
In a different web browser tab, go to your GitHub dashboard . In Your repositories, choose the repository name that contains the target commit. In the list of commits, find and copy the commit ID that refers to the revision in the repository.
This plugin integrates Jenkins with Github projects. The plugin currently has three major functionalities: Create hyperlinks between your Jenkins projects and GitHub. Trigger a job when you push to the repository by groking HTTP POSTs from post-receive hook and optionally auto-managing the hook setup.
Commit IDs are unique SHA-1 hashes that are created whenever a new commit is recorded. If you specify a commit ID when you add a repository, Domino will always pull the state of the repository specified by that commit in a detached HEAD state.
Step 1: Generate a new SSH key for GitHub. Step 2: Add the new SSH public key in GitHub. Step 3: Add the new SSH private key in Jenkins. Login to your Jenkins dashboard, “Manage Jenkins” => “Manage Credentials” => Select “global” as credential domain => “Add credentials”. Step 4: Add Jenkinsfile definition to your private GitHub repository.
Of course, you can always run the job manually, but that’s not ideal. So, choose the GitHub hook trigger for GITScm polling option. Scroll down a bit more and you’ll see the Pipeline section, where we’ll tell Jenkins to use the GitHub repo as the source.
Step 1: Launch Jenkins and redirected to the Jenkins Dashboard. Now click on the " Manage Jenkins " link as highlighted below: Note: To see details on how to install and run Jenkins, please refer to our article Install Jenkins Step 2: As soon as we will click on the Manage Jenkins link we will be redirected to the Manage Jenkins page.
How do I trigger a build automatically in Jenkins? 1 Put the Payload URL in the textbox. Kindly note that doesn’t forget to append text github-webhook/ at the last. 2 Click on the “Just the push event” option. 3 Please make sure that you check the “Active” checkbox. 4 Click on the “Add webhook” button.
If you're using the Git Plugin (https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Git+Plugin) to check out your code in Jenkins, then you should be able access the GIT_COMMIT environment variable during any build steps.
There are other useful environment variables defined as well (GIT_BRANCH, GIT_PREVIOUS_COMMIT, etc.) that you may find helpful.
