Bamboo 3.4 : Git

The instructions on this page describe how to configure a Git source repository.

Configuring a Git Source Repository

Navigate to the source repository settings for a Plan or Job, as described on Specifying the Source Repository for a Plan. Choose to add a new or edit an existing repository and select Git in the Source Control drop-down. 

Git gives you the following options:

Repository URL

Type the full path to your Git repository (eg: git://github.org/atlassian/bamboo-git-plugin.git)

Valid URLs are of the form:

  • git://host.xz[:port]/path/to/repo.git
  • ssh://[user@]host.xz[:port]/path/to/repo.git
  • [user@]host.xz:path/to/repo.git
  • http[s]://host.xz[:port]/path/to/repo.git
  • /path/to/repo.git
  • file:///path/to/repo.git 

 

Branch  Type the name of the relevant branch (or tag) you want to work on. Leave empty to work on master branch.
Authentication TypeNoneChoose none if you want to access the repository anonymously.
PasswordChoose password if you want to authenticate with a username and password.
SSH private key

Upload a private key and provide the corresponding SSH Passphrase.

Use shallow clones

Select this setting to allow Bamboo to perform shallow clones (i.e. history truncated to a specified number of revisions). This should increase the speed of the initial code checkouts, however if your build depends on the full repository history, we recommend that you do not use this option. Shallow clones are enabled by default.

Location of POM file

Type the path to your project's pom.xml file which is relative to the root of your Git Repository URL (defined above).

(Only available when importing a Maven 2 project) 


Common Repository Configuration

Force Clean BuildYou can force Bamboo to remove the source directory and check it out again prior to the Plan/Job build being built by selecting this option. Please note that this will greatly increase the time it takes to complete a build.
Clean working directory after each buildYou can force Bamboo to remove the source directory after the Plan/Job is completed building by selecting this option. Please note that this may increase build times but saves on disk space.
Include/Exclude FilesYou can specify a particular inclusion or exclusion pattern for file changes to be detected. If you select an option other than 'None', the following field will appear:

File Pattern — The regular expression for file changes which you wish to include/exclude. The regex pattern must match the file path in the repository.

Visit sub page for a few examples.

Web Repository

Generic Web Repository

Web Repository URL — If your source repository can be accessed via a web browser, you can specify the URL of the source repository here. If you specify a Web Repository URL, then links to relevant files will be displayed in the 'Code Changes' section of a build result.

Web Repository Module — The repository name of the Plan/Job, if the above Web Repository URL points to multiple repositories.

Mercurial Web RepositoryChoose between using the BitBucket Web Repository Scheme (if you use BitBucket) or Mercurial's own default web server Default Web Repository Scheme (hgserve).
FishEye

FishEye URL — The URL of your FishEye repository (e.g. 'https://atlaseye.atlassian.com/').

Repository Name — The name of your FishEye repository (e.g. 'Bamboo'). This is effectively the alias for your repository path.

Repository Path — The path for your FishEye repository (e.g. '/atlassian/bamboo/').

How do I determine my Repository Path?

If you have previously run builds with changes from your repository, the easiest way of determining your repository path is to view the code changes and copy the path from the start of the path of one of the changed files, up to (but not including) the appropriate root directory. The root directories for repositories are the ones shown by FishEye when browsing a repository (e.g. trunk)). For example, if a code change listed /atlassian/bamboo/trunk/bamboo-acceptance-test/pom.xml, the path would be /atlassian/bamboo/.
If you have not previously run builds with changes from your repository, you will need to ask your FishEye administrator for the repository path indexed by FishEye.

 
Build Strategy

Choose one of the build strategy options (listed below), which will be used for triggering the execution of this Plan. You can change the Build Strategy at a later point in time as required.

(warning) You may need to configure other options specific to your chosen build strategy.

(warning) If you select Manual & dependent builds only when creating a new Plan, an initial build will not automatically be run. You can force an initial build to be executed automatically by adding the fire.initial.build.for.manual.strategy to your bamboo.cfg.xml file as described in Configuring System Properties.
