Change an Application's Branch

At the moment it is not possible to change the branch a SIP application is referencing using sipctl, therefore you have to use kubectl. Make sure you have kubectl configured, by checking out the How to access Kubernetes Cluster guide.

To do so, edit the application configuration:

kubect edit application.sip -n $namespace $applicationName

Then, edit metadata.annotations.sip.vseth.ethz.ch/branch to the branch name and metadata.annotations.labels.sip.vseth.ethz.ch/branch to the sha1 hash of the branch name appended with "VSETH". The sha1 hash can be generated as follows:

echo -n "$branchName" | sha1sum
