Automatic pull request merge in Gitea upon successful Jenkins build

Question

I want to configure Gitea and Jenkins, so Gitea would automatically merge pull requests upon successful build in Jenkins.

What's the least effort way to approach this?

Answer 1

For me the best solution was to use the Gitea Jenkins Plugin despite it is poor documented.

Some useful functions:

• sync of structures/organazations/repositories
• push webhooks
• PRs from origin
• PRs from forks

Here you can find more information:

• Initial Setup
• Configuring webhooks in Jenkins
• Configuration hints
• Configuration example as youtube video
• Configuration of webhooks

Answer 2

You can use the Gitea API to merge a pull request, the API docs are here.

As the last step in Jenkins, call the Gitea API via curl to merge the PR.

Answer 3

It should be generally available with this pull request
