I just had to set up Jenkins to use GitHub. My notes (to myself, mostly):
Detailed Instructions
====================
For setting up Jenkins to build GitHub projects. This assumes some ability to manage Jenkins, use the command line, set up a utility LDAP account, etc. Please share or improve this Gist as needed.
Install Jenkins Plugins
--------------------------------------
- get both the git and github plugin
- http://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Git+Plugin
- http://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Github+Plugin
Make a Utility Account in the GitHub (optional)
--------------------------------------
- This would keep your identity separate from your Jenkins server
- Helpful if Jenkins runs under a different user
On the Jenkins server (optional)
--------------------------------------
- If Jenkins does run as different user, set this up on your server
- Set git user.name and user.email global config options.
- 'git config --global user.email JENKINS_USERNAME@WHATEVER_HOSTNAME'
- 'git config --global user.name JENKINS_USERNAME'
- This should match the GitHub utility account username and email address
Generate rsa key pair on your Jenkins server
--------------------------------------
- Log into the server as the user that Jenkins runs under
- Using command line, change directory to ~ /.ssh
- Generate key with 'ssh-keygen -t rsa -C 'JENKINS_USERNAME@WHATEVER_HOSTNAME''
- Note that -C comment is optional, just helps you identify the public key later
- Do NOT use a passphrase for the keygen (at least, I could not make this work)
- If there's a way to use a key pair with passphrase, please comment and let me know?
- Init with 'ssh -v [email protected]
- Reply 'yes' to add known host
- Copy contents of public key
- There's more reading about this on GitHub
https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git
https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys
https://help.github.com/articles/error-permission-denied-publickey
Update the GitHub Account for Jenkins
--------------------------------------
- Register utility user with git.corp.adobe.com
- Log in the utility account
- Go to Account Settings > SSH Keys
- Add the contents of the public key from your server
Configure Jenkins
--------------------------------------
- Make sure the Manage Jenkins > Configure System has the right path to git
- Set the global git user.name and user.email to match your global config options
- Configure GitHub Web Hook to Manually manage hook urls
- Click the (?) icon next to the manual option and copy the hook URL you see there
- Optionally set the service account email as the Jenkins sender email address
Configure Github Project
--------------------------------------
- Log into Github as the owner or collaborator of a repo
- Click the Admin button for that repo
- Select 'Service Hooks' in the left column
- Select 'Jenkins (Github plugin)' in the Available Service Hooks column
- Add the service hook URL for your server
eg http://yourjenkinsmachine.com:8080/github-webhook/
you might find the URL in the GitHub Web Hook > Manual setting (?) help text
- Check the 'Active' checkbox
Create a Jenkins job
--------------------------------------
- In the general options, add the URL to the github project
eg 'http://github.com/tehfoo/build-test/ '
- Under Source Code Management, select Git
- For the repository URL, enter the SSH URL for your project
this is found by toggling the HTTP/SSH button to the right of
the URL field on the repo home page in GitHub
eg '[email protected] : ixab /build-test.git'
- Under Build Triggers, check the "Build when a change is pushed to GitHub"
- Add other build task (running Grunt, or Ant, or scary Maven stuff, or whatever)
Enjoy!
