How to connect your mobile app repositories to buddybuild	Buddybuild supports Bitbucket, Bitbucket Server, GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, GitLab, a privately-hosted GitLab instance, and SSH (most other repositories).

Quickstart

This section describes how to quickly get started using buddybuild. Overall, the process involves a few steps:

Connect buddybuild to your project’s source control

Buddybuild supports the follow source control providers:
Choose a repository

Buddybuild examines your repository and automatically configures builds based on the configuration that you have setup.

Note

If you have multiple build targets defined for your app, you need to complete the Quickstart process once for each target.
Invite testers

This step prepares your app for deployment to your testers, which involves uploading code signing identities.

Optional additional steps include:

Integrate the buddybuild SDK

The buddybuild SDK adds useful features that makes it easy to gather feedback from your testers, and to collect crash reports.
Auto-versioning

Buddybuild can automatically update the build version, which helps inform your testers when a new version is available.
Tests

Buddybuild can automatically detect any unit tests included in your project; we have a list of supported frameworks, and instructions for integrating unsupported test frameworks. Unit tests are disabled by default, to ensure that your builds complete as quickly as possible, but you can enable them at any time.
