Push trigger - Option to evaluate the last commit only

[kaushal.bitrise]

We are improving the push trigger functionality to provide more precise control over which commits trigger your builds. This improvement allows you to filter based on either all commits in a push or just the most recent commit.

What’s new

Previously, when using the commit_message or changed_files conditions in a push trigger, Bitrise would evaluate all commit messages or changed files included in a single push.

While this behavior is still the default, you can now specify whether you want to evaluate only the last commit in a push.

You can configure this in two ways:

1. UI-based configuration

You can enable this via the UI. See screenshot below.

2. YAML-based configuration

New field: last_commit

Both the commit_message and changed_files trigger conditions now support an optional last_commit boolean parameter:

• When last_commit: true - Only the most recent commit in a push is evaluated
• When last_commit: false (default) - All commits in a push are evaluated

New field: Pattern matching

For better consistency with how you configure regex patterns, we’ve also introduced a new pattern field for wildcard matching, similar to the existing regex field:

• Use pattern for simple wildcard matching (e.g., pattern: "release-*")
• Use regex for more complex pattern matching with regular expressions

Example

Here’s how you can use the new functionality in your bitrise.yml file:

`my_awesome_workflow
  triggers:
    push:
      - branch: main
      - commit_message:
          pattern: "hello"
          last_commit: true
    pull_request:
      - source_branch: "*"`

In this example, a build will be triggered when:

• A push is made to the main branch, OR
• A push contains the word “hello” in the last commit message only
• Any pull request is created or updated

Please note

• We’ll continue to support the previous syntax (without the field pattern). So if the user types "hello” right next to the commit_message field, such as commit_message: ‘hello*'.`, it won’t break anything.

• If you don’t specify the last_commit parameter, the default behavior (evaluating all commits in a push) will be maintained.
