Configuring automatic build by push for git repository


Posted on Sunday Mar 01, 2015 at 07:15PM in Jenkins


We can start the build by send request to following URL.

http://YOURHOST/jenkins/job/PROJECTNAME/build

Recipe

In my case, Jenkins is deployed in /, and the server is running on port 18080. so the command to start a build of the job named trader will be:

curl http://localhost:18080/job/trader/build

So put following shell script into $ORIGIN_BARE_REPOSITORY/hooks/post-receive and execute chmod +x post-receive.

#!/bin/sh
curl http://localhost:18080/job/trader/build

Testing

Push some modification as follows:

$ echo hook test >> hi.txt
$ git add hi.txt
$ git commit -m 'hook test'
$ git push origin master

Check the build was run automatically as expected, and the output.

Tested with OS X 10.9.5.

Requirement

There are 2 users (kyle and jenkins). they want to have a shared git repository named trader on local filesystem. both of them can push changes into the repository.

Recipe

  1. Create a group named trader

    $ sudo dseditgroup -o create trader
  2. Let join kyle nad jenkins into the group trader

    $ sudo dseditgroup -o edit -a kyle -t user trader
    $ sudo dseditgroup -o edit -a jenkins -t user trader
  3. Create a bare repository

    $ cd /Users/Shared
    $ mkdir trader.git
    $ cd trader.git
    $ git init --bare --shared
  4. Change owning group of trader.git to trader

    $ cd ../
    $ chown -R :trader trader.git
  5. Make the repository writable by users in trader group

    $ chmod -R g+w trader.git

Testing

  1. Clone the repository

    $ git clone /Users/Shared/trader.git
  2. Make first commit by kyle

    $ cd trader
    $ echo 'hi there' > hi.txt
    $ git add hi.txt
    $ git commit -m 'first commit from kyle'
  3. Push to the parent repository

    $ git push origin master
  4. Switch to user jenkins

    $ sudo su - jenkins
  5. Clone the repository

    $ git clone /Users/Shared/trader.git
  6. Make first commit by jenkins

    $ cd trader
    $ echo hi there from jenkins >> hi.txt
    $ git add hi.txt
    $ git commit -m 'first commit from jenkins'
  7. Push to the parent repository

    $ git push origin master
  8. Pull the change made by jenkins from user kyle

    $ whoami
    kyle
    $ cat hi.txt
    hi there
    $ git pull origin master
    $ cat hi.txt
