Jenkins Automation Basics

Description

Jenkins is an automation server used for continuous integration and delivery. These lessons start with what it does and how to install it, then explain the dashboard and walk through creating a first freestyle job. You also learn how plugins extend Jenkins and how to connect it to Git so builds run from your source code.

From there the lessons introduce pipelines, automated tests and quality checks, and the basics of managing users and security settings. The final lesson looks at the Jenkins command line and APIs for further automation. A few exercises are included, so you can repeat each setup step on your own machine.

Who it is for: developers and IT staff who are new to Jenkins and want to automate builds and tests.
