Pipelines version v4.12.0 (GitHub) / v2.9.0 (GitLab) now supports consolidating status update comments into a single comment on your pull requests and merge requests, instead of creating a new comment on every push.

By default, Pipelines creates a fresh status comment each time you push (new_comment_per_push = true). To switch to consolidated comments, add this to your gruntwork.hcl or .gruntwork/repository.hcl file:

repository {
  # ...
  status_update {
    new_comment_per_push = false
  }
}

You can find the full documentation for this feature and all of Pipelines HCL here.

GitHub retains the history of all edits made to a comment, which means you can still easily access results from previous plans right from the pull request. Here’s what you’ll see:

GitLab comments are overwritten silently. If you choose to enable this feature, you can still view the output of previous runs in your GitLab CI pipeline history.
