Pipelines

We have two pipelines:

• Main Pipeline: Runs when changes are merged into main.
• Feature1 Pipeline: Runs on feature branches except main.

About main

This pipeline will run for all branches except main.
We are developing a release pipeline that triggers when we commit or push to main.
Once changes are merged into main, this pipeline will execute.
For other pipelines, ensure they are configured not to run on the main branch.

Setting Up Jenkins Multibranch Pipeline

1. Install Jenkins & Required Plugins

• Ensure Jenkins is installed.
• Add the Pipeline and Multibranch Pipeline plugins.

2. Create a Multibranch Pipeline Job

• Go to Jenkins Dashboard → New Item.
• Select Multibranch Pipeline and name it.
• Click OK.

3. Configure SCM (GitHub, GitLab, etc.)

• Under Branch Sources, select Git or GitHub.
• Provide the repository URL and credentials.

4. Define the Jenkinsfile

• Ensure your repository has a Jenkinsfile defining the pipeline stages.

5. Set Up Branch Filtering

• In Advanced under Branch Sources, set:
  • "Include" to *
  • "Exclude" to main to prevent builds on the main branch.

6. Save and Apply

• Jenkins will scan the repository and trigger jobs accordingly.
