GitHub Organization won't trigger GitHub Tag

Hi @kleenxcoder , you might be interested by How to automatically triggers Jenkins job when there is a Git tag push to Bitbucket server or git tag created from a branch in BB? - #4 by poddingue

TL;DR; By default, builds are not triggered by git tag even when discovered. It is to avoid build storms if you reload your configuration or migrate your controller (otherwise your tags could be rebuilt accidentally and overriding artifacts or even failing).

However, by adding the Basic Branch Build Strategies plugin, you can set up your jobs to be triggered by tags which are less than 3 days olds (by default: can be tuned in the plugin). The configuration can be done at GitHub Organization Folder once for all, and then a “Scan Organization” will apply the setting to all children (and kick builds).

Be aware that git tag should be annotated to be sure their timestamps are set to when the tag is created (and not the commit’s timestamp).

In any case (with or without the plugin), you can trigger tags builds manually if they are discovered.
