CircleCI Github Trigger

A Django webapp designed to be run on Heroku and used to trigger builds on certain branches of a Github repository in CircleCI with custom build parallelism.

Installation

After the app is deployed, run the following command from the heroku CLI: heroku run python manage.py createsuperuser

Using

• Go to https://your-app-name.herokuapp.com/admin and log in
• Create a new Trigger
  • Get the github id for the repository and the web_url via the Github API: https://api.github.com/repos/OWNER/REPO
  • Enter a regex to match on branch name
  • Enter the level of parallel containers that should be used for builds of matched branches
• Verify that the repository webhook was created in Github
• Any commit on a matching branch of a linked repository should create a TriggerEvent and trigger a CircleCI build. The build_url field on the TriggerEvent object is populated with the CircleCI build url
