Post-receive hook to launch buildbot for master, develop and release/* branches This file has to be placed in remote repo hooks folder You could just call git_buildbot.py $1 $2 $3 but then you'll see every commit in buildbot timeline

master.cfg

from buildbot.changes import pb
c['change_source'] = pb.PBChangeSource()

for branch, builder in {'master':'release-builder', 'develop':'develop-builder'}.iteritems():
        c['schedulers'].append(SingleBranchScheduler(
                name="Continuous-%s" % branch,
                branch=branch,
                treeStableTimer=1*60,
                builderNames=[builder]))

c['schedulers'].append(SingleBranchScheduler(
        name='Release',
        change_filter=ChangeFilter(branch_re='^release/.*$'),
        builderNames=['release-builder']))
