Gitlab

“branch” defines the git branch to work on.

compatible:

• scm

default: main

remark: depending on which resource references the GitLab scm, the behavior will be different.

If the scm is linked to a source or a condition (using scmid), the branch will be used to retrieve file(s) from that branch.

If the scm is linked to target then Updatecli creates a new “working branch” based on the branch value. The working branch created by Updatecli looks like “updatecli_”. The working branch can be disabled using the “workingBranch” parameter set to false.

“commitMessage” is used to generate the final commit message.

compatible:

• scm

remark: it’s worth mentioning that the commit message settings is applied to all targets linked to the same scm.

“body” defines the commit body of the commit message as defined by the conventional commit specification. More information on -> https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/

	default:
		none

footers defines the footer of the commit message as defined by the conventional commit specification. More information on -> https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/

	default:

“directory” defines the local path where the git repository is cloned.

remark:

Unless you know what you are doing, it is recommended to use the default value. The reason is that Updatecli may automatically clean up the directory after a pipeline execution.

  The default value is based on your local temporary directory like: (on Linux)
  /tmp/updatecli/gitlab/<owner>/<repository>

compatible:

• scm

default: default set to your global git configuration

“force” is used during the git push phase to run git push --force.

remark: When force is set to true, Updatecli also recreates the working branches that diverged from their base branch.

  For more information, about a SOPS file, please refer to the following documentation:
