Jenkins is an open-source automation server intended to automate repetitive technical tasks involved in the continuous integration and delivery of software.
This tutorial will explain you how to implement the continuous integration and continuous deployment with Jenkins to test an application for changes pushed to GitHub Repositories. Whenever the updated code gets pushed to Git repository, Jenkins gets notified to test this code.
Prerequisites
Jenkins server should be up and running.
GitHub personal access token.
GitHub project’s repository URL.
To copy the GitHub project’s repository URL, log in to Github account and switch to the repository of your GitHub account.
Open up the drop-down menu of “Clone or download” button and select the URL type e.g. SSH or HTTPS then copy the URL.

Click on the checkbox of the “GitHub project” and enter the Github project’s repository URL in the “Project URL” input field.4. Click on the “Build Triggers” from the menu and select the checkbox for the “GitHub hook trigger for GITScm polling.”5. SelectGitin theSCMmenu in Pipeline section and enter the repository URLSave and Apply the changes. 6. Open the Jenkins pipeline and click on “Build Now” to start the pipeline execution then click on “Full Stage View” to see the execution of your pipeline.
Summary
In this tutorial, we have created a new pipeline in Jenkins and configured it with the GitHub project repository for continuous integration and continuous deployment.
Now, if any changes are committed to the repository, they will get detected by this pipeline.
