CruiseControl.NET and Git

Question

It looks like there is no built-in support for Git in CruiseControl.NET.

Anyone have suggestions on Git plug-ins, tips, or other advice on getting CruiseControl.NET with work with Git?

Answer 1

The Git support was added in CC.NET 1.5 according to the documentation.

Since Thoughtworks seems to be having issues with their public CruiseControl.NET site I wanted to mention that full coverage about the "official" Git Source Control block can be found in the documentation that ships with the CruiseControl.NET installation:

• Locally on a default 64-bit Windows install: file:///C:/Program%20Files%20%28x86%29/CruiseControl.NET/webdashboard/doc/CCNET/Git%20Source%20Control%20Block.html
• On your remote build server: http://buildserver/ccnet/doc/CCNET/Git%20Source%20Control%20Block.html

It seems like the official plugin has some added features about tagging and checking in files modified during the build.

Answer 2

Integration of git/mercurial support for 1.5 release of CruiseControl.Net is currently worked on - the git plugin AFAIK has already been integrated into main repository.

Mercurial is already included in documentation.

Answer 3

There's a CC.net/git plugin at github:

ccnet.git.plugin

The rdoc includes instructions for configuring CC.net to use a git repository.

Answer 4

I just wanted to note that newer CruiseControl.net have builtin support for git
