Integrating TeamCity with Mergify

How to automate your TeamCity workflow using Mergify.

TeamCity is a popular Continuous Integration (CI) tool used for automating tasks such as building, testing, and deploying software. On the other hand, Mergify is a powerful tool that helps automate GitHub workflows. By integrating the two, you can create a well-oiled CI/CD pipeline that will increase your productivity and efficiency.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure that you have:

A GitHub account;
A repository for which you have admin permissions with Mergify installed;
A TeamCity account.

Using TeamCity Status Checks in Mergify Configuration

Once TeamCity reports status checks to GitHub, they can be used as conditions in your Mergify rules. Here’s a simple example:

pull_request_rules:
  - name: Automatically merge when TeamCity build succeeds
    conditions:
      - check-success=TeamCity  # Change this to match your TeamCity check name
      - "#approved-reviews-by>=1"
    actions:
      merge:
        method: merge

In this example, Mergify will automatically merge pull requests that have at least one approved review and a successful TeamCity build.
