Codefresh has introduced three new features aimed at enhancing the efficiency and security of Continuous Integration (CI) pipelines. The first feature is the ability to perform shallow git clones, allowing pipelines to fetch only the latest state of a Git repository without its entire history, which significantly accelerates the process, especially for large repositories. The second feature enables users to specify which Kubernetes clusters are accessible from specific pipelines, thereby enhancing security by limiting access to only the necessary clusters, which simplifies deployment and reduces confusion over similar cluster names. The third feature permits automatic skipping of builds when a commit message includes "[skip ci]," conserving resources and time by avoiding unnecessary builds for minor changes. These enhancements are part of Codefresh's efforts to improve its CI offerings in anticipation of merging with its GitOps product, aiming to provide a comprehensive platform for the entire software lifecycle.
