Source Control Management

Learn the concepts, configuration, commands, and practical workflow required to use Source Control Management in a real Jenkins environment.

What is Source Control Management?

Source Control Management (SCM)is the system of tools and configuration layers that allows Jenkins automation runners to securely pull, clone, and track versioned code changes directly from shared repositories like GitHub or GitLab. Instead of copying files manually, Jenkins integrates directly with your repository to keep its active build workspaces perfectly synchronized with your code modifications.

This lesson explains the concept step by step and connects it to a practical Jenkins workflow.

Key Concepts

Practical Jenkins Example

                echo 'Jenkins lesson: Source Control Management ' 
            }
        }
    }
}
