Summary

In this chapter, we explored multibranch pipelines. Multibranch pipelines offer a lot of flexibility through scripted and declarative style Groovy scripts. Unfortunately, writing a script is not even half as easy as creating a project using the classic projects. Next to increased flexibility, the script offers an advantage in that it is just code and is committed to Git, giving you easy backups and version management. Multibranch pipelines also make it easy to build every branch in your Git repository automatically, even as you add them. In the next chapter, we are moving away from Jenkins again to create and test a web API.
