从标签推送 gitlab-ci 中获取“创建自”分支名称

Question

I would like to get the branch name when a tag push is done in my gitlab-ci worker.

When a push is done, the CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME var contains the branch name. But for a tag push, it's replaced by the tag itself and I didn't find a way to get the branch name.

By branch name, I refer to the 'create from' field filled, as you can see on the screenshot bellow. This field can refer to a branch that I would like to get in my gitlab-ci script.

I would like to get development .

Answer 1

You can't.

A tag is (like a branch) a reference, a pointer to a commit . You commit can be in multiple branches, and Gitlab won't be able to guess which one you would like to use.

Example:

dc73e1c Foo
7e9e838 Bar    * 1.0, master
956750e Baz    
c938048 Qux
6dee84d Quux   * develop

You push the 1.0 tag, which points on 7e9e838 . This commit is part of master AND develop .
