Trigger a Travis-CI rebuild without pushing a commit?

If you open the Settings tab for the repository on GitHub, click on Integrations & services, find Travis CI and click Edit, you should see a Test Service button. This will trigger a build.


I know you said without pushing a commit, but something that is handy, if you are working on a branch other than master, is to commit an empty commit.

git commit --allow-empty -m "Trigger"

You can rebase in the end and remove squash/remove the empty commits and works across all git hooks :)


  • If you have write access to the repo: On the build's detail screen, there is a button ↻ Restart Build. Also under "More Options" there is a trigger build menu item.

    Note: Browser extensions like Ghostery may prevent the restart button from being displayed. Try disabling the extension or white-listing Travis CI.

    Note2: If .travis.yml configuration has changed in the upstream, clicking rebuild button will run travis with old configuration. To apply upstream changes for travis configuration one has to add commit to PR or to close / reopen it.

  • If you've sent a pull request: You can close the PR then open it again. This will trigger a new build.
