Github Releases Jenkins Continuous Integration Server

Github has released a Janky continuous integration project server based on Jenkins running the Hubot CoffeeScript bot. In fact, Janky is just an interface for working with Jenkins through scripts and Hubot commands.



Software development using continuous integration (CI) provides for the implementation of frequent automated project assemblies for the early identification and resolution of integration problems. For example, the build from the repository can be done every night on a schedule, with an automatic test run, so every morning the developers see the test results. This method teaches and programmers to work more efficiently, in an iterative mode with a shorter cycle.



It is clear that Github is the best suited for working in continuous integration mode. Janky’s system is geared towards using Github, including creating appropriate web-hooks, and it can also restrict access for employees of an organization on Github.
