Adding a GitHub webhook

Abstract

You can specify webhooks on Github so that Bitrise automatically triggers a build of your app whenever you perform a specified action, such as a code push or a pull request.

You can specify webhooks so that Bitrise automatically triggers a build of your app whenever you perform a specified action, such as a code push or a pull request. For GitHub, all you have to do is register your bitrise-webhooks URL as a Webhook in your GitHub repository.

In addition, you can take advantage of Git Insights. Git Insights enables you to quantify and optimize Git collaboration. It provides crucial metrics like pull request cycle time and merge frequency.

You can register a webhook either automatically or manually. This guide walks you through the process of manually registering a webhook.

  1. Open your app on Bitrise with a user that has the Admin role on the app's team.

  2. On the main page of the app, click on the App Settings icon: settings.svg.
