Support pipeline as code

[EcutDavid]

Hi, recently I'm playing with Jenkins and found their pipeline as code feature very helpful.

I can pull the pipeline configuration from remote repo. Or edit it in the UI:

This is my simplest Jenkins pipeline configuration code: https://github.com/EcutDavid/react-resetcss-dev-template/blob/master/Jenkinsfile

So what about support: Define the configuration yaml URL in front end, and pull it periodically into workspace.
Or other better solutions?

We've been discussing being able to fetch pipelines from a remote source (starting with Git) as well as allowing us to edit pipelines directly through the interface. It's on our roadmap for the next couple releases.

I was thinking this, one possible solution:

• You choose Github OAuth as login option (so we get token to access your repos)
• When you first login we clone the repo and set the workspace folder to point to the /pipelines (or whatever folder you choose).
• We have a "resync with git" button that will refetch the git-repo.

@JuhaS Is the GitHub log in working already? It'd be nice to activate it at least for one project.

Yes, but probably needs some cleanup, I'll try to make that happen this week.
