What is Jenkins FOR MAC?

Jenkins

Jenkins is a cool open-source continuous integration server that helps keep track of repeated jobs. This includes things like building software projects or handling jobs that run on a schedule, like cron jobs.

What is Jenkins?

Built with Java, Jenkins comes packed with over 300 plugins. These plugins support building and testing almost any project you can think of. It's pretty neat!

Why Use Jenkins?

So, what does Jenkins focus on? Well, it’s mainly about two big tasks:

• Building and Testing Software Projects: Jenkins makes continuous integration super easy for developers. You can integrate changes to your project quickly, which means users get fresh builds without the hassle. This automated process boosts productivity big time!


• Monitoring External Jobs: It also keeps an eye on jobs that run externally, like cron jobs and procmail jobs—even if they’re on another machine! Normally, when using cron, you just get emails with the output. It’s up to you to sift through those emails to spot problems. But with Jenkins, it saves those outputs for you and makes it simple to see if something goes wrong.
