Re: [hibernate-dev] Running Jenkins on personal branches

I also was thinking of creating a personal job there which would monitor a specific branch name on my personal github fork, maybe "toTest" or "forJenkins". Another option is to use parametric jobs: you have to trigger them from the UI and the wizard will ask you to fill in a couple of parameters which are applied to the build configuration; these could be for example 1- repository 2- commitId That could allow us to have a single job per project for all of us; ideally this could be started by REST too, so making some script possible to trigger it from your local box commandline.. it would be trivial to have such a script auto-detect the needed parameters. I'm not sure how such a script would deal with authentication: we require authenticated users to trigger jobs manually. I think you could obtain an OAuth token from the github server to use on Jenkins, using the Github feature of creating application specific passwords (which you would then set as a constant in your script). If we get the REST variant to work it would be great to provide it as a service of the build tool (not thinking of Maven here): we could have, on top of traditional tasks such as "install", "release", "test", also "remote-test". This would be especially cool for ORM and OGM developers as you could get feedback from the full range of databases without installing them locally.
