Jenkins Kata 4: Integrate Git with Jenkins

CI is the automation of a software delivery process. When integrated with an SCM system, Jenkins can be configured to run a job (or set of jobs) automatically each time code changes are pushed to a source code repository. When a build is run with each code update, bugs can be discovered and fixed immediately. This is much more efficient than allowing many problems from many code updates to clog the development lifecycle.

This kata will demonstrate how to configure a Git server to trigger Jenkins jobs when commits are pushed to the Git server.
