Customize environments for different branches of a Continuous Integration project
There have been several requests on our support forum on how to customize environments to specific branches while running Continuous Integration (CI) builds for a repository that has multiple branches. In this tutorial, I'll go over a common scenario and review the multiple ways we can configure branch-specific actions during the CI build.
The scenario I use for this tutorial is, to pull a Docker image in the CI process and upon completion, use different tags for the branches when pushing the Docker image to Docker Hub. The Docker tags should be customized to the specific branch where the CI was processed and should include the build number. The final results of successful CI process tagging different branches looks as shown.
