Hi,
We have an active repository on github, where PRs will be automatically rebased when their base gets a push.
We also have builds that take hours to complete.
During periods of high merge activity this overwhelms our server’s executors with builds that are on commits no longer attached to branch/PRs due to rebase and force push.
How can I automatically abort these builds, so only the latest version of a branch is building? (We use branch as a build parameter, hence determining “same” via parameters would be ideal). These are freestyle declarative jobs using git.
This seems harder than I’d expected!
Thanks,
Jonny
