Expressions

Expressions provide dynamic values to your pipeline at runtime.

Gitness provides variables that can be referenced in expressions and conditions. Expressions are also used to reference secrets.

Variables

Variables can be referenced throughout your pipeline with the expression syntax ${{ variable.name }}.

This pipeline sends a message to slack containing the build number after the test step completes.

This pipeline prints all files changed in the commit range based on the before and after commits.
