Jenkins + Github Pull Request builder display name

Question

For our project we use GitHub. We have TravicCI enabled (as this was required for our project to use). Besides that, we've also got a full instance of Jenkins running with the pull request builder.

Now this all works fine, and in the overview of a pull request this looks like this:

Now as you can see travis is displayed nicely with a name. The Jenkins setup is however shown as 'default'. I'd like to change this to something else, however I can not find anything anywhere (github, jenkins, plugin settings) on how/where to change this. How do I change this?

Answer 1

You can change this in the job.

Your Job > Configure > Build Triggers > Trigger Setup > Commit Status Context

Enter something in this field to override "default".

Answer 2

In the GHPRB ver 1.33.0, the option for changing the name of the check for GitHub PR is within the job configuration: Your Job > Configure > Build Environment > Set GitHub commit status with custom context and message (Must configure upstream job using GHPRB trigger) > Commit Status Context

Answer 3

I might be late to this answer, but my suggestion is to create another user as a 'bot' account to connect with GitHub from your Jenkins server instead of using your main admin account. This adds another security layer to the connection. I wrote a bit about it here
