In this post we will look at how we can use Webhooks feature of GitHub to Integrate Github with Jenkins.
Webhooks is a really a cool feature which helps to Integrate GitHub with Jenkins on the Push Events in Github.
There is a feature in Jenkins to Poll SCM for every configured number of Minutes/hours for change in the code. This way Jenkins is polling on SCM. Better/Preferred way is to use Webhooks for this integration where Whenever there is a Push in Github, a Payload is sent to Jenkins with Push/Commit details and New Pipeline is Initiated.
