This guide will go over
installing the git plugin for Jenkins. It assumes you have Jenkins already
installed and running (Very basic setup).
If you have not done that yet I wrote a how to guide at http://www.whiteboardcoder.com/2014/01/install-jenkins-ubuntu.html
As a side note there is
a github plugin to Jenkins https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/GitHub+Plugin [1] But I
will not be going over that, rather I will just use the basic git plug-in to
talk to github
Install git via apt-git
First git needs to be
installed on the Ubuntu machine
> sudo apt-get install git
|
Install plug in
Open your Jenkins install in a web browser. Mine happens to be located at http://192.168.0.7:8080/
After you login click on Manage Jenkins
Click on Manage Plugins
Click on the Available Tab
In the filter enter "git plugin"
Then select "Git Plugin" and finally click on
"Install without restart"
Plug-in installation starts
After the plug-in is successfully installed click on
"Go back to the top page"
SSH keys
Create the ssh keys in the Jenkins home directory. In my set up the Jenkins home directory is at
/var/lib/jenkins
Switch over to the Jenkins user and create its ssh keys
> sudo su jenkins
> cd
> ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048
|
Copy the id_rsa.pub key to obtain it you could run the
following command
> cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub
|
Copy this somewhere in order to upload it to github
Upload ssh keys to github
Login to github.
From your profile click on SSH Keys
Click on Add SSH key
Give it a Title, Paste the id_rsa.pub text into the key and
click Add Key
Open github repository
Click on New Job
Name it Test
Select "Build a free-style software project"
Click OK
At this point you need to get the url of a remote git
repository to clone from.
For this example I chose jquery https://github.com/jquery/jquery
[2]
The URL to clone is located here on their github page, copy
it.
In this case its
git@github.com:jquery/jquery.git
Replace the : with a / to give you and prefix it with ssh://
ssh://git@github.com/jquery/jquery.git
Now back to the Jenkins job page
Select "Git" then enter the github remote
repository
ssh://git@github.com/jquery/jquery.git
Click Save
Click Build now
The Build was successful
This is a very simple deploy, all it does is download from
the github repository.
This same technique works with closed github projects your
github user has access to.
