Does GoCD checkout latest code from GitHub before every stage?

I created a GoCD pipeline, in which i am using GitHub repository. I created two stages in this pipeline.

What happening is before every stage, it is taking the checkout of new code.

In second stage i don't want to checkout the github code, how can i do that?

Solution

  • GoCD keeps the revision of all materials (including git repositories) stable within each pipeline instance.

    This is true for separate stages as well as reruns of stages.

    So under no circumstance will GoCD fetch the lastet version from GitHub in a second stage.

    If you want to suppress the fetching of materials, you can set fetchMaterials to false in the <stage> tag:

    <stage name="mySecondStage" fetchMaterials="false">
    ....
</stage>
