Creating a Maven Job for Maven Project

A build job is a basic execution unit in Jenkins. We can many actions using build jobs. We can execute commands, send notifications, configure Continuous Integration, and so on.

You will need to configure the tools based on the application, such as Maven, Java, Git, and so on.

1. Open the Jenkins dashboard.
2. Click on New Item.
3. Enter an item name.
4. Select a template Maven project.

5. Click on OK:

6. Go to the Source Code Management section and select Git.
7. Provide the Repository URL.
8. Provide Credentials.
