Summary
Bamboo Data Center, starting with version 10, automatically sends build statuses to GitHub. If you already have a custom GitHub integration in place, this default behavior can cause duplicate or conflicting build status updates.
This article explains how to disable Bamboo’s built‑in GitHub build status handling using a system property.
Solution
To disable Bamboo’s automatic publishing of build statuses to GitHub, add the following Java system property to your Bamboo startup configuration:
System property to disable automatic build status publishing to GitHub
