Abstract

Claims (31)

1 . A method comprising:

in response to user input via a graphical user interface (GUI) presented on a display device, identifying, by a computer system, a pipeline of a plurality of pipelines of a continuous integration and continuous delivery/deployment (CI/CD) system, the pipeline comprising a plurality of automated stages including at least a software compilation stage that translates source code into executable code and a deployment stage that installs the executable code onto a host machine for execution; identifying, by the computer system, a plurality of repositories utilized by the pipeline; presenting, by the computer system, the GUI on the display device that identifies the plurality of repositories;

in response to user input selecting an identified repository of the plurality of repositories, identifying, by the computer system, a plurality of files contained in the identified repository, the identified repository being stored in a first storage location; presenting, by the computer system, the GUI on the display device that identifies the plurality of files;

receiving, by the computer system, user input that modifies a file of the plurality of files to generate a modified file;

receiving, by the computer system, user input identifying a second storage location on which a copy of the identified repository, including the modified file instead of the file, is to be stored, the second storage location being a different location from the first storage location;

copying, by the computer system, the modified file and each other file of the identified repository to the second storage location to generate a modified repository; and

executing, by the computer system, the pipeline with the modified repository in place of the identified repository.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein each repository of the plurality of repositories includes a respective at least one file.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein executing the pipeline with the modified repository includes:

cloning, to the second storage location, the plurality of repositories excluding the identified repository.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second storage location refers to a storage location from which the CI/CD system operates the pipeline.

5 . A system comprising:

a memory; and

a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, to perform operations comprising:

in response to user input via a graphical user interface (GUI) presented on a display device, identifying a pipeline of a plurality of pipelines of a continuous integration and continuous delivery/deployment (CI/CD) system, the pipeline comprising a plurality of automated stages including at least a software compilation stage that translates source code into executable code and a deployment stage that installs the executable code onto a host machine for execution;

identifying a plurality of repositories utilized by the pipeline; presenting the GUI on the display device that identifies the plurality of repositories; in response to user input selecting an identified repository of the plurality of repositories, identifying a plurality of files contained in the identified repository, the identified repository being stored in a first storage location;

presenting the GUI on the display device that identifies the plurality of files; receiving user input that modifies a file of the plurality of files to generate a modified file;

receiving user input identifying a second storage location on which a copy of the identified repository, including the modified file instead of the file, is to be stored, the second storage location being a different location from the first storage location;

copying the modified file and each other file of the identified repository to the second storage location to generate a modified repository; and

executing the pipeline with the modified repository in place of the identified repository.

6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein each repository of the plurality of repositories includes a respective at least one file.

7 . The system of claim 5 , wherein executing the pipeline with the modified repository includes cloning, to the second storage location, the plurality of repositories excluding the identified repository.

8 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the second storage location refers to a storage location from which the CI/CD system operates the pipeline.

9 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that includes executable instructions to cause a processor device to:

in response to user input via a graphical user interface (GUI) presented on a display device, identify a pipeline of a plurality of pipelines of a continuous integration and continuous delivery/deployment (CI/CD) system, the pipeline comprising a plurality of automated stages including at least a software compilation stage that translates source code into executable code and a deployment stage that installs the executable code onto a host machine for execution;

identify a plurality of repositories utilized by the pipeline; present the GUI on the display device that identifies the plurality of repositories;

in response to user input selecting an identified repository of the plurality of repositories, identify a plurality of files contained in the identified repository, the identified repository being stored in a first storage location;

present the GUI on the display device that identifies the plurality of files; receive user input that modifies a file of the plurality of files to generate a modified file;

receiving user input identifying a second storage location on which a copy of the identified repository, including the modified file instead of the file, is to be stored, the second storage location being a different location from the first storage location;

copying the modified file and each other file of the identified repository to the second storage location to generate a modified repository; and

execute the pipeline with the modified repository in place of the identified repository.
