Push changes directly into BuildHive, and never run tests again!

On top of pull requests auto-build, BuildHive now allows you to push changes directly in via ssh. I call this feature “validated merge”. If you are an active developer of a repository, chances are that you don’t use pull requests to send in changes. You probably just push changes directly into your repository instead. But…

The San Francisco session has already sold out, but there are several remaining slots for the New York…

Based on the experience of past deliveries of the training, this time I’m making some significant updates to the material to cater toward more experienced users and admins, about topics that range from automated code quality tracking…

Upcoming Webinar “Mastering Jenkins Security”

I’ll be doing another Jenkins webinar titled “Mastering Jenkins Security” in the next Thursday 10am Pacific Time. It’s a free event, so please register.
