@zeeg it seems like you’re the only person from Sentry who monitors this forum. Could you help me? I’d really like to be able to maximize the product, but it seems I’m stuck at at impasse.
“There are two ways to create a release and associate commits: using a repository integration (recommended), or by manually supplying Sentry with your own commit metadata.”
And there’s two major headings for each supposed way of doing things. Might make sense to change the language there to be more specific.
Sent your feedback over to the team - and I agree. You cant actually couple commits to releases by just connecting to the repository. It just makes it easier to select a delta of commits since we can then look it up from the upstream provider.
We just ran into the same issue as well. The documentation is still unclear about the fact that you have to associate commits manually despite connecting the repo via integrations.
As a side note: I don’t remember having to manually associate commits on a sentry project I worked on a few years go, it auto-detected the commits between the commits of each release, does it not do that anymore, if so what changed? Why do we have to manually associate commits now?
