Selenium Java Project Integrate With Jenkins And Github

Integrating Jenkins and GitHub allows you to automate the process of building and testing your projects whenever changes are pushed to your GitHub repository. Here’s a step-by-step guide to set up this integration:

Step 1: Install Jenkins

Download Jenkins: Go to the [Jenkins website](https://www.jenkins.io/download/) and download the appropriate installer for your operating system.

Install Jenkins: Follow the installation instructions for your OS.

Start Jenkins: After installation, start Jenkins. On most systems, you can access Jenkins at https://localhost:8080.

Step 2: Configure Jenkins

Initial Setup:

• Access Jenkins via https://localhost:8080.
• Complete the initial setup by unlocking Jenkins with the initial admin password located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\secrets\initialAdminPassword or the equivalent path on your OS.
• Install suggested plugins during the setup process.
• Create your first admin user.

Install Required Plugins:

• Navigate to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins.
• Go to the Available tab, search for GitHub, Git, and Pipeline plugins, and install them.

Step 3: Create a GitHub Repository

Create Repository:

• Go to [GitHub](https://github.com) and log in.
• Click on the + icon in the top-right corner and select New repository.
• Name your repository and add a README file if desired.
• Click Create repository.
• After upload your project in this repository

Step 5: Configure Jenkins Job

Create a New Job:

• In Jenkins, click New Item.
• Enter a name for your job and select Pipeline (or Freestyle project if you prefer).
• Click OK.

Set Up GitHub Integration:

• In the job configuration:

For a Pipeline job:

• In the Pipeline section, select Pipeline script from SCM.
• Choose Git and enter your repository URL (e.g., https://github.com/your- username/your-repo.git).
• Under Credentials, click Add and enter your GitHub Personal Access Token.
• Specify the branch to build (e.g., main).
• Point to the Jenkinsfile in your repository.

For a Freestyle project:

• In the Source Code Management section, select Git.
• Enter your repository URL and credentials.
• Specify the branch to build.
• In the Build Triggers section, check GitHub hook trigger for GITScm polling.

Save and Apply.

Step 4: Create Jenkinsfile in GitHub Repository (For Pipeline Jobs)

Jenkinsfile: Add a Jenkinsfile to the root of your repository. Here’s a simple example:

Commit and Push: Commit and push the Jenkinsfile to your GitHub repository.

Step 5: Test the Integration

Trigger Build:

• Make a change in your GitHub repository and push it.
• Jenkins should automatically trigger a build due to the webhook configuration.

Monitor Build:

• Go to Jenkins and check the status of the build.
• Review the console output to ensure that the build is running as expected.

By following these steps, you have successfully integrated Jenkins with GitHub, allowing for automated builds and tests whenever changes are pushed to your GitHub repository.
