Branch type - Basic usage

Pipeline: Branch type - Basic usage (Declarative Pipeline) 
// Using git without checkout 
pipeline {
  agent any
  parameters {
    gitParameter branchFilter: 'origin/(.*)', defaultValue: 'master', name: 'BRANCH', type: 'PT_BRANCH'
  }
  stages {
    stage('Example') {
      steps {
        git branch: "${params.BRANCH}", url: 'https://github.com/jenkinsci/git-parameter-plugin.git'
      }
    }
  }
}
Pipeline: Branch type - Basic usage (Scripted Pipeline) 
properties([
    parameters([
        gitParameter(branch: '',
                     branchFilter: 'origin/(.*)',
                     defaultValue: 'master',
                     description: '',
                     name: 'BRANCH',
                     quickFilterEnabled: false,
                     selectedValue: 'NONE',
                     sortMode: 'NONE',
                     tagFilter: '*',
                     type: 'PT_BRANCH')
    ])
])
node {
    git branch: "${params.BRANCH}", url: 'https://github.com/jenkinsci/git-parameter-plugin.git'
}


Important settings:

  • It should be set a default value because initial build must get this information
  • Using git should be set a branchFilter as 'origin/(.*)' (origin is a remote server name)
Parameter type
  • PT_TAG
  • PT_BRANCH
  • PT_BRANCH_TAG
  • PT_REVISION
  • PT_PULL_REQUEST

Important: If you need use other type (other then branch) parameter, you must use git within checkout

}

Options:

Parameter Type

Name using in pipeline 
type: 'PT_TAG' or 'PT_BRANCH' or 'PT_BRANCH_TAG' or 'PT_REVISION' or 'PT_PULL_REQUEST'


Branch

Name using in pipeline 
branch


Branch Filter

Name using in pipeline 
branchFilter


Tag Filter

Name using in pipeline 
tagFilter


Sort Mode

Name using in pipeline 
sortMode: 'NONE' or 'ASCENDING_SMART' or 'DESCENDING_SMART' or 'ASCENDING' or 'DESCENDING'


You can select the following sorting options for tags/revision/branches/branches_or_tags/pull requests

  • none
  • descending
  • ascending
  • ascending smart
  • descending smart

For the smart variants the compare treats a sequence of digits as a single character. Contributed by Graeme Hill.

Default Value


Name using in pipeline 
defaultValue


Selected Value

Name using in pipeline 
selectedValue: 'NONE' or 'TOP' or 'DEFAULT'


Use repository

Name using in pipeline 
useRepository


Remember: You don't set a git repository into the plugin, this plugin using git repositories which are defined in project in SCM section!

If in the task are defined multiple repositories, this option specifies which the repository is taken into account on getting data.
If the option is not defined, is taken a first defined repository.
This option is a regular expression, which is compared to the 'Repository URL'.

You can define the multiple SCM for few way, you can use Multiple SCMs Plugin, specified many 'Repository URL' in one SCM  or define them in pipeline.

Consider an example based on two repositories:


Pipeline: Complex example 
pipeline {
    agent any
    parameters {
        gitParameter branchFilter: 'origin.*/(.*)', defaultValue: 'master', name: 'BRANCH_A', type: 'PT_BRANCH', useRepository: '.*exampleA.git'
        gitParameter branchFilter: 'origin.*/(.*)', defaultValue: 'master', name: 'BRANCH_B', type: 'PT_BRANCH', useRepository: '.*exampleB.git'
        
    }
    stages {
        stage('Example') {
            steps {
                git branch: "${params.BRANCH_A}", url: 'https://github.com/klimas7/exampleA.git'
                git branch: "${params.BRANCH_B}", url: 'https://github.com/klimas7/exampleB.git'
            }
        }
    }
}

After initial run you get 

Example when 'Use repository' is not set:

Pipeline: Use repository is not set 
pipeline {
    agent any
    parameters {
        gitParameter branchFilter: 'origin.*/(.*)', defaultValue: 'master', name: 'BRANCH', type: 'PT_BRANCH'
    }
    stages {
        stage('Example') {
            steps {
                git url: 'https://github.com/klimas7/exampleA.git'
                git url: 'https://github.com/klimas7/exampleB.git'
            }
        }
    }
}
