Jira wildcard branches

[Former user]

Hi,

we have multiple dev branches so would it be possible to add branches with wildcard in Jigit Plugin Configuration.

like dev/ and that would add all dev/ branches to jigit? So when making new versions we would not have to update it manually?

Thank you. Kasper

Hi, Kasper.

What about "Index all branches" feature? This option allows you to forget about configuring of branches.

I am also interested in this feature. Either proposal would be a welcome change for us. We have the following branch structure, which would be nice to show in jira:

• master
• 4.x.x.x
• feature/<jira issue number>

There are many 4.x.x branches, which we create to fix issues while we are regression testing a release. There are many more feature branches, which will eventually get merged into either master or a release branch once the build passes. In our case, the regression branches could probably be added individually on an as-needed basis, and it is important for us that these be indexed. However, there is some friction because the people creating these branches and the people with administrator access to Jira are not the same set of individuals.

Feature branches are more chaotic; they are being created, merged, and deleted many times per week. Asking a jira admin to configure them individually would be unreasonable for us. Indexing them would be a nice-to-have feature, but we can live without it.

Thanks for all your time and effort! If there is anything I can do to help, please ask.

Sorry, I just noticed some discussion about issue #9 and the fact that it was completed. The existing "index all branches" option works for us, and I just didn't notice it before posting my previous comment. Thanks again for your effort!

Hi Nick,

Glad to hear that "Index all branches" option covers all your cases. You are welcome!

Being able to specify wildcard branches would be great when having feature branches where the commit history may change. If using “Index all branches” the commits show up multiple times (with different hashes), creating a bit of a mess in the Jigit tab (and the All tab). And even if the commits only showed once we’d prefer not showing these branches, as it would suffice to show the commits when they are merged into the develop branch.

We would however like to show hotfix/* branches.
