CodeScene's Settings Presets feature allows you to define reusable configurations for your projects. This is especially useful when managing pull request (PR) integration across multiple repositories, as it ensures consistency and reduces repetitive setup work.
What Are Settings Presets?
Settings presets are templates that store configuration options that can be reused across multiple projects. In the context of PR integration, they streamline how GitHub App, Bitbucket, GitLab, or Azure DevOps integrations are set up.
-
Active Presets appear in dropdowns when configuring a project.
-
Deactivated Presets won’t show up in project configuration pickers.
-
Presets in Use cannot be deleted—remove their usage from all projects first.
