针对特定分支Jenkins的投票SCM

Question

I have a Github project with many branches.

Example

master
staging
feature-1
feature-2

I have a Jenkins job that has the "Poll SCM" option enabled with the following cronjob (10 7,9,11,13,15,17,19 * * 1-5)

However, this job will kick off when a change is made to master also.

I want a Jenkins job to only kick off if a commit to the staging branch.

Here is an output of the polling logs

Is this possible?

You can set which branch you want to build with following way:

Configure -> Source Code Management tab -> Branch to Build -> Branch specifier

just write staging in this section. Then go to Build Triggers tab, select GitHub hook trigger for GITScm polling.

Don't forget to add webhook <YOUR-JENKINS-URL>/github-webhook/ to your Github project and select sending push events as json.

With this way, you can create a build whenever a push made to a specific branch. With pooling, it will pull the repository with given time intervals, which is way more costly.
