Is it possible to trigger Jenkins from one specific branch only?

Question

My situation is the following: I have three branches in a repo: master, dev and staging. And I have one job for each one of these branches, configured in \'Branches to build

Answer 1

To have different Jenkis projects for different branches I did the following:

• Install Bitbucket Plugin at your Jenkins
• Add a normal Post as Hook to your Bitbucket repository (Settings -> Hooks) and use following url:

https://YOUR.JENKINS.SERVER:PORT/bitbucket-hook

• Configure your Jenkins project as follows:
  • under build trigger enable Build when a change is pushed to BitBucket
  • under Source Code Management select GIT; enter your credentials and define Branches to build (like **feature/*) <- this is where you define different branches for each project

By this way I have three build projects, one for all features, one for develop and one for release branch.

And best of it, you don't have to ad new hooks for new Jenkins projects.
