== Joining Code Valet
Currently Code Valet is in private alpha, to receive updates on our progress and join the private alpha/public beta, please sign up for link:https://tinyletter.com/codevalet[our newsletter].
== Adding Plugins
The Jenkins masters which run in the Code Valet cluster will take the
link:https://ci.jenkins.io/blue/organizations/jenkins/Core%2Fjenkins/activity?branch=master[latest core build]
and build the master branch of all the plugins listed in plugins.txt in
this repository, and all of those plugins' dependencies.
In order to propose a new plugin, submit a pull request editing plugins.txt
with the name of the plugin repository under
link:https://github.com/jenkinsci[github.com/jenkinsci/].
== Meta
=== Problem
The link:https://jenkins.io[Jenkins] project faces a challenge unusual to other contemporary CI/CD tools in that it is downloaded and executed on a user's machine(s) rather than as a service. While this offers quite a lot of flexibility to the end-user, it puts Jenkins developers at a disadvantage for a number of reasons:
. There is no direct return line of feedback from where their code is executed. No error reports, etc. . There is a significant lag between developers releasing code and it being adopted/used.
=== Solution
A free service which provides basic CI/CD functions, with Jenkins as the core platform, to all open source repositories on link:https://github.com[GitHub].
With a regularly updated "Jenkins distribution," consisting of many of the key
plugins which people use, built from master, and rolled through the Code
Valet cluster. Providing rapid, real-world, usage of Jenkins code.
=== Goals
. Provide a rapid feedback loop for Jenkins developers through real-world usage. . Introduce new people to the wonders of link:https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline[Jenkins Pipeline] and link:https://jenkins.io/projects/blueocean[Blue Ocean].
