Git

Fetch URL

The URL of the remote Git repository used for fetching data from the repository.

Push URL

The URL of the target remote Git repository used for pushing annotated tags created via VCS labeling build feature to the remote repository. If blank, the fetch URL is used.

Default branch

Configures default branch. Parameter references are supported here. Default value is refs/heads/master

Branch specification

Lists the patterns for branch names, required for feature branches support. The matched branches are monitored for changes in addition to the default branch. The syntax is similar to checkout rules: +|-:branch_name, where branch_name is specific to the VCS, i.e. refs/heads/ in Git (with the optional * placeholder).

Use tags as branches

Allows monitoring / checking out git tags as branches making branch specification match tag names as well as branches (e.g.+|-:refs/tags/<tag_name>). By default, tags are ignored.

Username style

Defines a way TeamCity reports username for a VCS change. The username is reported based on the Author field of the Git commit and can include name, email or their combinations. Changing the username style will affect only newly collected changes. Old changes will continue to be stored with the style that was active at the time of collecting changes.

Submodules

Select whether you want to ignore the submodules, or treat them as a part of the source tree. Submodule repositories should either not require authentication or use the same protocol and accept the same authentication as configured in the VCS root.

Username for tags/merge

A custom username used for labeling.

Anonymous

Select this option to clone a repository with anonymous read access.

Password

Specify a valid username (if there is no username in the clone URL; the username specified here overrides the username from the URL) and a password to be used to clone the repository. For the agent-side checkout, it is supported only if git 1.7.3+ client is installed on the agent. See TW-18711. For Git hosted from Team Foundation Server 2013, specify NTLM credentials here.

Private Key

Valid only for SSH protocol. A private key must be in the OpenSSH format. Select one of the options from the Private Key list and specify a valid username (if there is no username in the clone URL; the username specified here overrides the username from the URL). Available Private Key options:

• Uploaded Key: uses the key(s) uploaded to the project. See SSH Keys Management for details.

• Default Private key - Uses the keys available on the file system in the default locations used by common ssh tools: the mapping specified in <USER_HOME>/.ssh/config if the file exists or the private key file <USER_HOME>/.ssh/id_rsa (the files are required to be present on the server and also on the agent if the agent-side checkout is used).

• Custom Private Key - Supported only for server-side checkout, see TW-18449. When this method is used, specify an absolute path to the private key in the Private Key Path field. If required, specify the passphrase to access your SSH key in the corresponding field.

Convert line-endings to CRLF

Convert line-endings of all text files to CRLF (works as setting core.autocrlf=true in a repository config). When not selected, no line-endings conversion is performed (works as setting core.autocrlf=false). Affects the server-side checkout only. A change to this property causes a clean checkout.

Custom clone directory on server

To interact with the remote git repository, the its bare clone is created on the TeamCity server machine. By default, the cloned repository is placed under <TeamCity Data Directory> /system/caches/git and <TeamCity Data Directory>/system/caches/git/map. The field specifies the mapping between repository url and its directory on the TeamCity server. Leave this field blank to use the default location.

Path to git

Provide the path to a git executable to be used on the agent. When set to %\env.TEAMCITY_GIT_PATH%, the automatically detected git will be used, see Git executable on the agent for details

Clean Policy/Clean Files Policy

Specify here when the "git clean" command is to run on the agent, and which files are to be removed.

Use mirrors

When enabled (default), TeamCity clones the repository under the agent's system\git directory and uses the mirror as an alternate repository when updating the checkout directory for the build. As a result, this speeds-up clean checkout (because only the working directory is cleaned), and saves disk space (as there is only one clone of the given git repository on an agent).

teamcity.git.idle.timeout.seconds

1800

The idle timeout for communication with the remote repository. If no data were sent or received during this timeout, the plugin throws a timeout error to prevent hanging of the process forever.

teamcity.git.fetch.timeout

1800

(deprecated) Override of "teamcity.git.idle.timeout.seconds" for git fetch operation

teamcity.git.fetch.separate.process

true

Defines whether TeamCity runs git fetch in a separate process

teamcity.git.fetch.process.max.memory

512M

The value of the JVM -Xmx parameter for a separate fetch process. You also need to ensure the server machine has enough memory as the memory configured will be used in addition to the main server process and there can be several child processes doing git fetch and each using the configured amount of the memory.

teamcity.git.monitoring.expiration.timeout.hours

24

teamcity.server.git.gc.enabled

false

Whether TeamCity should run git gc during the server cleanup (native git is used)

teamcity.server.git.executable.path

git

The path to the native git executable on the server

teamcity.server.git.gc.quota.minutes

60

Maximum amount of time to run git gc

teamcity.git.cleanupCron

0 0 2 * * ? *

Cron expression for the time of a cleanup in git-plugin, by default - daily at 2a.m.

teamcity.git.stream.file.threshold.mb

128

Threshold in megabytes after which JGit uses streams to inflate objects. Increase it if you have large binary files in the repository and see symptoms described in TW-14947

teamcity.git.buildPatchInSeparateProcess

true

Git-plugin builds patches in a separate process, set it to false to build patch in the server process. To build patch git-plugin has to read repository files into memory. To not run out of memory git-plugin reads only objects of size smaller than the threshold, for larger objects streams are used and they can be slow (TW-14947). With patch building in a separate process all objects are read into memory. Patch process uses the memory settings of the separate fetch process.

teamcity.git.mirror.expiration.timeout.days

7

The number of days after which an unused clone of the repository will be removed from the server machine. The repository is considered unused if there were no TeamCity operations on this repository, like checking for changes or getting the current version. These operations are quite frequent, so 7 days is a reasonably high value.

teamcity.git.commit.debug.info

false

Defines whether to log additional debug info on each found commit

teamcity.git.sshProxyType

Type of ssh proxy, supported values: http, socks4, socks5. Please keep in mind that socks4 proxy cannot resolve remote host names, so if you get an UnknownHostException, either switch to socks5 or add an entry for your git server into the hosts file on the TeamCity server machine.

teamcity.git.sshProxyHost

Ssh proxy host

teamcity.git.sshProxyPort

Ssh proxy port

teamcity.git.connectionRetryAttempts

3

Number of attempts to establish connection to the remote host for testing connection and getting a current repository state before admitting a failure

teamcity.git.connectionRetryIntervalSeconds

4

Interval in seconds between connection attempts

teamcity.git.use.native.ssh

false

When checkout on agent: whether TeamCity should use native SSH implementation.

teamcity.git.idle.timeout.seconds

1800

The idle timeout for the git fetch operation when the agent-side checkout is used. The fetch is terminated if there is no output from the fetch process during this time. Prior to 8.0.4 the default was 600.
