Using Jenkins Shared Libraries
As you journey deeper into the world of Jenkins, you’ll encounter a powerful concept known as Jenkins Shared Libraries. Imagine you have multiple Jenkins pipelines across various projects, and many of these pipelines use similar steps or configurations. Instead of replicating these common pieces in every Jenkinsfile, wouldn’t it be more efficient if you could write them once and reuse them across pipelines? That’s precisely where Shared Libraries come into play. They allow you to define and centralize reusable pieces of code, helping streamline pipeline configurations and maintain consistency across projects.
In the real world, large organizations often have standard practices for building, testing, and deploying applications. By encapsulating these practices within Shared Libraries, teams can ensure consistent and efficient pipelines across the board. For example, a company might have a standard way of notifying stakeholders when...
