Problem to solve

As a Platform Engineer, I want to provide an easy to use CI snippet for my users to update their git repositories from CI, so they - combined with other snippets - can self-serve complex CI jobs.

Example use case: On a tagged build, various files need to be updated (e.g. changelog or Kubernetes manifests). The tagged CI pipeline should do the update.

Proposal

A CI/CD components with the following features:

• check out the repository
• scripts runs the scripts to update the repository
• finally the components runs a git commit and git push
• the commit message is an input variable
• optionally the commit&push can target a new branch
• optionally the component can open MR for the new branch

Intended users

• Sasha (Software Developer)
• Priyanka (Platform Engineer)

Feature Usage Metrics

• monthly count of pipelines running the component
• monthly count of projects running a pipeline with the component

Does this feature require an audit event?

No
