Question

Explain the process of creating the Multibranch Pipeline in Jenkins?

Answer 1

The process is as follows:

• Open the Jenkins dashboard and create a new item by clicking on ‘new item’ from the top left menu.
• Enter your project name and from the options shown, select ‘Multibranch pipeline’ and click on OK.
• Then you should select the repository location, branch source (GitHub/Bitbucket), and add the credentials of the branch source.
• Save the project.
• Jenkins automatically creates new Multibranch Pipelines for repositories that have branches and pulls requests containing Jenkins files.
• To connect to the GitHub repo, we need the HookURL. Get this URL from the repository settings.
• Add this HookURL to the Webhooks section.
• Once the jobs are created, build is automatically triggered by Jenkins.
