Learn how to automate build triggers and publish using Jenkins and GitHub integration for a seamless workflow.
Integrating Jenkins with GitHub automates build triggers when a commit is pushed, reduces resource usage by pushing updates instead of frequent polling, and streamlines publishing build results directly to GitHub pull requests and commits.

Automated Build Process:
The video focuses on automating two main steps—triggering builds and publishing results. It describes a sequence where a developer pushing a commit to GitHub will automatically trigger a Jenkins build.
Integration Benefits:
Efficient Cloning & Testing: Jenkins gains the ability to clone the code base to a local workspace for building and testing.
Optimized Resource Usage:
Instead of Jenkins frequently polling GitHub for changes, GitHub pushes updates directly, reducing server load and avoiding API rate limits.
Automated Result Publishing: Jenkins can automatically publish build results back to the GitHub repository, including to pull requests and individual commits.
Workflow Optimization: By automating the interaction between Jenkins and GitHub, development teams can achieve a streamlined workflow with fewer manual tasks and more efficient build and deployment processes.
