Jenkins - Freestyle Jobs

Information on this Jenkins job type. Freestyle jobs are basic compared to pipeline jobs.

• I have a very barebones Jenkins install, so all I see if a standard Freestyle project.

  • Add a name
  • Click on Freestyle project
  • Click OK

• Go down to Build Steps and select Execute shell

You should now see a textbox that allows you to write shell code.
