Integrating TeamCity with Mergify

TeamCity is a popular Continuous Integration (CI) tool used for automating tasks such as building, testing, and deploying software. On the other hand, Mergify is a powerful tool that helps automate GitHub workflows. By integrating the two, you can create a well-oiled CI/CD pipeline that will increase your productivity and efficiency.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure that you have:

• A GitHub account;

• A repository for which you have admin permissions with Mergify installed;

• A TeamCity account.

Using TeamCity Status Checks in Mergify Configuration

Once TeamCity reports status checks to GitHub, they can be used as conditions in your Mergify rules. Here's a simple example:

1
pull_request_rules:
2
  - name: Automatically merge when TeamCity build succeeds
3
    conditions:
4
      - check-success=TeamCity  # Change this to match your TeamCity check name
5
      - "#approved-reviews-by>=1"
6
    actions:
7
      merge:
8
        method: merge

In this example, Mergify will automatically merge pull requests that have at least one approved review and a successful TeamCity build.

Further Configuration

The possibilities of integrating TeamCity with Mergify are extensive. For instance, you could use Mergify to:

• Automatically update a PR when a build fails;

• Apply labels, request reviewers, or post comments based on the results of Jenkins checks.

We encourage you to explore Mergify's conditions and actions to create your personalized workflow.
