What is CI/CD?

CI (Continuous Integration) - Developers frequently combine their code changes into a shared repository and automatically test it to catch errors early and maintain code stability.

CD (Continuous Deployment) - Once the code passes integration tests, it is automatically deployed to production or staging environments, allowing for fast and reliable software updates.

What Is a Build Job?

A build job is a task that compiles and assembles source code into an executable or deployable artifact, typically as part of a software development pipeline or CI/CD process.

What is Freestyle Projects ?? 🤔

Freestyle Projects refer to a type of project configuration in Jenkins, a popular automation server. It allows users to create customized and flexible build processes using a graphical interface, offering versatility and control over the build steps and configurations.
