Git Plugin Manual

Git trigger plugin

Usage

In order to use Git trigger plugin, you need to create a Git Repository. Git repositories could be managed from the configuration screen.

A Git Repository has the following properties:

• Title: The title of the repository.
• Url: The address where the server is reachable.
• Username: The login user ID on the server.
• Password: The login user password on the server.

The git trigger is used to poll periodically a Git repository and trigger a release if it detects a new commit. The specific fields of the plugin during its creation are:

• Git Repository: The Git repository to poll (mandatory)
• Branch: The git branch you want to watch
• Username: The username used to connect to this repository (left blank if there is no authentication)
• Password: The password used to connect to this repository (left blank if there is no authentication)

This trigger exposes:

• Commit Id: Corresponding to the SHA1 of the new commit

Specific permission

This plugin could require an edition of the conf/script.policy file. Ensure that the following line is present:

grant {
    ...

    permission  java.net.NetPermission "getProxySelector";

    ...
};

The XL Release server must be restarted after the conf/script.policy file is changed.
