US1232-Some-Story - Jenkins job that builds new branches and passes branch name to RallyBuild
Now the branch has been found by Jenkins and a comment with the branch name is in the Rally artifact and it has been moved to In-Progress
####Update the artifact with pull request infromation
- Install the GitHub Pull Request Builder
- Setup the pull request job to comment on the ticket with the pull request infromation and also ensure the ticket is in the In-Progress State.
Now the ticket has infromation about the pull request and any memeber of the team can find the branch and the pull request to review the code.
####Mark Rally Artifact as 'Ready' when PR's are merged
- Setup Jenkins Job like the following
This job will find changes in your main branch since the last build. It passes those commits to RallyBuild which finds artifacts and sets them to Ready. If the artifact is a defect we also mark that defect as fixed.
