if (isCI) {
  console.log(`Building repo ${slug} on ${name} service`);

  if (isPr) {

:warning: See [Caveats](#caveats)

**Note**: Unsupported properties will always be `undefined`. For example if a Ci services doesn't support triggering builds when a Pull Request is opened/updated, `isPr` will be `undefined`.

**Note**: If none of the above CI services is detected, `commit` and `branch` are determined based on the local Git repository, and `isCi` is determined based on the `CI` environment variable.

## API

### envCi(options) => Result

#### options

Type: `Object`

#### env

Type: `Object`<br>
Default: `process.env`

The object to read environment variables from.

#### cwd

Type: `String`<br>
Default: `process.cwd()`

The current working directory in which to execute `git` commands used to determine the `commit` and `branch` [Result](#result) properties in case no [supported CI](#supported-ci) is detected.

### Result

Type: `Object`

[Environment variables values](#supported-variables) exposed by the CI service.

## Caveats

### AWS CodeBuild

AWS CodeBuild doesn't provide an environment variable to determine the current Git branch being built. In addition, it clones the repository in a [detached head state](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-checkout#_detached_head) so the branch cannot be determined with `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD`.
To work around this limitation, `env-ci` look for the remote branches having the same `HEAD` as the local detached `HEAD` to determine the branch from which the detached `HEAD` was created.
In the rare case where there is multiple remote branches with the same `HEAD` as the local detached `HEAD`, `env-ci` will arbitrarily pick the first one. This can lead to an inaccurate `branch` value in such circumstances.

### Buddy

For builds triggered when [a Pull Request is opened/updated](https://buddy.works/knowledge/deployments/pull-requests), Buddy doesn't provide an environment variable indicating the branch from which the Pull Request originated nor the target branch. It also build from a branch named `pull/<PR number>` so the target branch cannot be determined with a `git` command.
Therefore in the case of Pull Request builds, `env-ci` will not be able to determine the `branch` and `prBranch` properties.

See [feature request](https://forum.buddy.works/t/determine-pull-request-branch-with-environment-variable/911).

### CircleCI

For builds triggered when a Pull Request is opened/updated, CircleCI doesn't provide an environment variable indicating the target branch.
Therefore in the case of Pull Request builds, `env-ci` will not be able to determine the `branch` property. However `prBranch` will be set.

See [feature request](https://discuss.circleci.com/t/create-a-circle-target-branch-envar/10022).

## Jenkins

Triggering build when a Pull Request is opened/updated is supported only via the [ghprb-plugin](https://github.com/jenkinsci/ghprb-plugin) and [gitlab-plugin](https://github.com/jenkinsci/gitlab-plugin). Therefore `env-ci` will set `isPr`, `pr` and `prBranch` and define `branch` with the Pull Request target branch only if one those plugin is used.

## Sail

For builds triggered when a Pull Request is opened/updated, Sail doesn't provide an environment variable indicating the target branch, and the one for the current branch is set to `pull/<PR number>` independently of the the branch name from which the Pull Request originated.
Therefore in the case of Pull Request builds, `env-ci` will not be able to determine the `branch` and `prBranch` properties.

## Semaphore

For builds triggered when a Pull Request is opened/updated, Semaphore 1.0 doesn't provide an environment variable indicating the target branch.
Therefore in the case of Pull Request builds, `env-ci` will not be able to determine the `branch` property. However `prBranch` will be set.
On Semaphore 2.0 the `branch` and `prBranch` properties will work as expected.

The property `tag` is only available on Semaphore 2.0.
