Codiga Git Branches Configuration
Summary​
- Codiga supports the analysis of multiple branches.
- Automated code reviews do not need to have any branch specified.
Support for multiple branches​
Multiple branches are allowed for a project if the owner of the project (user or group) is Silver of Gold. If the owner is at the Basic level, you cannot support multiple branches.
Default branch​
When the default branch is not set, Codiga uses the default
branch of your repository, similar to which branch would be have checked
out when you run git clone <url-of-repository>.
For GitHub and Bitbucket accounts, the default branch used for push notifications
are master and main, respectively.
You can change the default branch name for Silver and Gold accounts. If you are a Basic account, only push requests
for main and master will be allowed.
Basic accounts can only use the default branch for analysis. Note that these restrictions do not apply for pull requests.
How to track more branches​
Note: you can only support multiple branches if the owner of the project (user or group) is Silver or Gold. If the owner is at the Basic level, you cannot support multiple branches.
To track more branches, go to your project preferences. In the branch section, add the list of branches you want to support, as shown below.
Important: you have to set up a default branch before tracking other branches.
Show dashboard for a specific branch​
You can display the dashboard for a project for a particular branch. By default, the default branch is shown. You can specify the branch to show using the selector as shown below.
Show analyses for a specific branch​
You can display the list of analyses for a project for a particular branch. By default, the default branch is shown. You can specify the branch to show using the selector as shown below.
Comparing branches​
You can compare projects and their different branches. Click on the Compare entry on the left menu and select the project with its branch. When a project has multiple branches, it is then shown such as project/branch where project is the name of the project and branch is the name of the branch.
