Jenkins

This guide contains information to set up a Jenkins Source in Vanus Connect.

Introduction

Jenkins is a widely-used automation server that simplifies software development. It enables continuous integration and delivery, streamlining tasks like building, testing, and deploying code. With its extensive plugin ecosystem and active community support, Jenkins is a reliable choice for creating efficient automation solutions.
