GitHub Pull Request Builder Plugin. This Jenkins plugin builds pull requests from GitHub and will report the results directly to the pull request via the GitHub Commit Status API.

This Jenkins plugin builds pull requests from GitHub and will report the results directly to the pull request via the GitHub Commit Status API

When a new pull request is opened in the project and the author of the pull request isn’t whitelisted, builder will ask Can one of the admins verify this patch?. One of the admins can comment ok to test to accept this pull request for testing, test this please for one time test run and add to whitelist to add the author to the whitelist.

If an author of a pull request is whitelisted, adding a new pull request or new commit to an existing pull request will start a new build.

A new build can also be started with a comment which contains, retest this please; with or without additional lines in the comment. A review summary comment will not start a new build.

You can extend the standard build comment message on github creating a comment file from shell console or any other jenkins plugin. Contents of that file will be added to the comment on GitHub. This is useful for posting some build dependent urls for users without access to the jenkins UI console.

Jobs can be configured to only build if a matching comment is added to a pull request. For instance, if you have two job you want to run against a pull request, a smoke test job and a full test job, you can configure the full test job to only run if someone adds the comment full test please on the pull request.

The United States Marine Corps is heavily reliant upon various service contracts to conduct field and garrison activities. With an increase in the amount of service contracts requested by units, there are inefficiencies due to a lack of training for Marines interpreting requirements, determining whether requests are inherently governmental, and processing requests for their units. Additionally, there is a lack of competency across the Marine Corps regarding the purchase request PR process and Purchase Request Acquisition Lead Time PRALT. Analyzing data from PR Builder, the requests for services can be broken-down by type of service, dollar amount, and time for approval. This data provides analysts with a measurement for how responsive the service-contract PR process is for units with time-bound requirements. There is a potential for efficiencies to be gained and more responsive support to the warfighter if the process can be improved from the unit requesting the service and from the regional contracting office approving a request and fulfilling requirements. This project seeks to identify the issues associated with the problem of efficiently fulfilling service contract requests and provides recommendations to increase effectiveness of requests and minimize unnecessary risks to units.
