Manually trigger a teamcity build from github

Question

I want to trigger a build in Teamcity by doing a manual action(not a commit or pullrequests). Like if i click a button in github it should trigger a build config in teamcity or something similar(by passing the branch). I dont want the process to be automatic for every commits, instead just manually trigger for custom branches.

If there is a possibility for this, pls let me know as it would be much helpfull..

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Yes you can do that by leaving your Triggers menu empty... Go to Build --> Edit settings --> Triggers and make shore that there are no triggers. You can alway manually run build by clicking on icon RUN

If you want trigger just for couple of branches you can add trigger to your VCS like this

so my list contains branches develop, qa, release and master and rule +:*/merge is for every open Pull Request
