Tekton - Github integration

I'm looking for a way, if existing, of linking Tekton tasks running in Kubernetes cluster to GitHub steps, so that I can mark required steps in GitHub and allow PR merge only if they are passing.

I know about Tekton triggers, which solve the other part of the problem, i.e. reacting to events in GitHub, such as the creation of a new pull request, or a merge on master branch. But would Tekton be able to call the GitHub API in the way I expect?

Solution

  • What you are looking for is something that can report back the status from the PipelineRun to GitHub.

    This can be done in a few different ways. One way to do it is by using the commit--status-tracker, however it seem to use the "older" concept with PipelineResources, so I would recommend to use e.g. GitHub App Notifier instead, although it seem to be pretty new.
