Creating customized Pipeline Label in GoCD pipeline

Question

I want to add the branch name which I have pointed in my Materials section in GoCD pipeline.

Currently, my pipeline label has the count and commits hash.

For example:

if my branch name is "master" the label should be 104-master-82862b9a99599130e0306429882ead4c22d07ce4

if my branch name is "US73173" the label should be 104-US73173-82862b9a99599130e0306429882ead4c22d07ce4

Please help me on this.

Answer 1

You should be able to do this by:

1. Creating a pipeline parameter in the Parameters tab to specify your git branch. ex: name: mybranch value: US73173
2. Using the new pipeline parameter to specify your branch instead of directly specifying it for the material in the Materials tab ex: #{mybranch}
3. Edit the label template on the pipeline in the General Options tab to use the new pipeline parameter. For example: ${COUNT}-#{mybranch}-${git}
