Branches

Branches To Monitor

There are 3 options to choose from when selecting which branch(es) to monitor.

  1. Single branch
    This option tells Continua to only monitor a single branch of the repository you specify. When you select this option you need to provide a Branch Name which is the value of the branch you want Continua to monitor.

  2. All branches
    This option tells Continua to monitor all branches in the repository. When you select this option you need to provide a Default Branch value so Continua knows what to use for a build when no branch is selected.

  3. By pattern
    This option tells Continua to monitor any branch that matches a pattern you provide in the Branch Pattern field. The Branch Pattern field accepts a regular expression which is matched against all the branches in your Mercurial repository. Since the pattern can potentially match more than one branch, you also need to provide a Default Branch value so Continua knows what to use for a build when no branch is selected.

Hide inactive branches

Tick to hide inactive branches from Start Build and Trigger dialogs.

Maximum Active Branch Age (days)

You can also specify a maximum branch age. This allows you to exclude older branches from the selection list when starting a new build or defining a trigger.


Tags

Tag Changes

Choose how to deal with tagged commits. You can choose to Ignore tags completely, Detect tags and show then next to changesets, or Detect and list as new changeset . The later option will create a new changeset in the database representing that a tag change (new tag, tag deletion or modification) was made. This new changeset can be used to trigger a build.

Load any older changesets which have been tagged

Normally only the latest changeset on each branch is loaded into the database when the repository is initialised. When this option is ticked earlier changesets which are the source of a tag are also loaded during initialisation. All tags are then available to be selected when starting a build.

Commit Username

An alternative username for committing tag changes to the hg repository. Leave blank to use the main repository Username.

Commit Password
