Idea: Customize the commit to pull compass.yml from

Mac White December 21, 2021

We currently use a number of different branching strategies across multiple products. Our goal would be to have the `compass.yml(s)` pulled from a source control system, BitBucket, GitHub, and eventually GitLab, be configurable by repository. 

For use we use `git-flow` and `trunk-based` branching strategies. In both scenarios, our `default` branch is not always as close to our current production branch, so for some audiences of Compass the information may be inaccurate. 

Thanks,
Mac

Hey Mac, you’ll be able to install the GitHub, Bitbucket, and/or GitLab (coming this year) integrations in the same Compass instance and use whichever you need on a per-component basis. As long as you have the integrations you need installed and configured, all you will need is a valid repository URL added to the component and Compass will take care of managing that relationship including watching for Compass.yaml (if present) changes in the appropriate VCS system. Does that help?

Regarding the branch, currently we’re only looking at the default branch with our Bitbucket and GitHub integrations and there isn’t a way to change/define that as a user. This is definitely a short term tradeoff we’ve made and I fully expect this won’t be the case forever.

This answer works. I would go a bit further as well and suggest that being able to see this at different "environments" would be interesting. For us production of course is important and will be our default, this currently is based more off of a tagging in git than branches. Of course this is not for all of our repositories, but for some. It would be interesting though to see the "status" of a component in Compass depending on the environment, for us that would be edge, stable, and production systems.

Thanks,
Mac
