Using Jenkins for CI/CD implementation

Jenkins is one of the oldest CI tools, initially released in 2011. It is open source and developed in Java.

And if, despite everything, one of your tasks does not have a plugin, you can create one yourself.

In this section, we will look at the installation and configuration of Jenkins and will create a CI Jenkins job that will be executed during the commit of code that is in a Git repository.

The source code of the demonstration application is a Java project that is open source and available on the GitHub Microsoft repository space here: https://github.com/microsoft/MyShuttle2. To be able to use it, you need to fork it into your GitHub account.

Before talking about the Jenkins job, we will see how to install and configure Jenkins.
