No problem; all automatic.

If there is only one branch to build, it is quite fast. A single branch
takes ~90 minutes to build and test. Of course, that means if you push
{3.18..4.20} together, it takes at 9+ hours for the builds and tests to
complete, plus the additional time for master, next, and 3.16 if those
branches change as well. Since, thanks to California's outrageous
electricity costs, builds only start between 11:00pm and 4:00am PST,
results are often only available around noon the next day.
