Abstract

Techniques are provided for application of storage retention policies to a software deployment pipeline in response to code branch mergers. One method comprises, in response to a request to merge a first code branch of a first stage with a second code branch of a second stage of a software deployment pipeline: initiating a transition of the software deployment pipeline from a software repository associated with the first stage to a software repository associated with the second stage; and applying a software retention policy to the software repository associated with the first stage. The merge of the first code branch with the second code branch may be performed in connection with a pull request. The transition of the software deployment pipeline from the software repository associated with the first stage to the software repository associated with the second stage may be performed in connection with a build promotion.
