Add a new material to an existing GoCD pipeline

Now that you have a pipeline, lets add another material to it.

• Navigate to the new pipeline you created by clicking on the Edit link under the Actions against it.
• Click on the Materials tab.
• You will notice an existing material . Click on the “Add new material” link.
• You will get the following message
• Edit the existing material and specify the destination directory
• Click “Save”.

Deny / Denylist filters

Often you want to specify a set of files that GoCD should ignore when it checks for changes. Repository changesets which contain only these files will not automatically trigger a pipeline. These are detailed in the ignore section of the configuration reference.

• Enter the items to add to the denylist using ant-style syntax below
• Click “Save”.

Allow / Allowlist filters

There are cases where instead of ignoring those files or folder/s, you want GoCD to consider only the specified files or folders when checking for changes and ignore the rest. With GoCD’s allowlist filtering, you can allow a pipeline to trigger on only a set of chosen repository changesets.

• Click on “Invert the file filter” checkbox to enable allowlist filtering.
• Click “Save”.

Note - GoCD uses '**' for folder/path and '*' for files.

Examples:

<ignore pattern="doc/**/*" />

Ignore everything under the folder ‘doc’, even deeper levels of subfolders/files under doc folder.

<ignore pattern="doc/*" />

Ignore files under the folder ‘doc’, excluding any subfolder.

<ignore pattern="framework/helper/*.doc" />

Ignore files that are under the directory ‘framework/helper’ and the file extension is .doc.

<ignore pattern="*.pdf" />

Ignore files that are under the root directory of SCM repository and the file extension is .pdf.

<ignore pattern="**/helper/*.pdf" />

Ignore all the files that is under any ‘helper’ folder and the file extension is .pdf.

<ignore pattern="helper/**/*.pdf" />

Ignore all the files that are in the nested directory under folder ‘helper’ of the repository and the file extension is .pdf.
