That sounds like a lot of work, right? Well, Jenkins is like having a little robot helper that does all that stuff for you automatically!
Jenkins uses special instructions called a "pipeline" to know what to do. It's like giving your robot helper a list of chores!
// Jenkinsfile - Tell Jenkins what to do!
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('Build') {
steps {
echo 'Building my awesome project!'
// Jenkins builds your code here
}
}
stage('Test') {
steps {
echo 'Testing for mistakes...'
// Jenkins checks for errors
}
}

steps {
echo 'Sharing with the world!'
// Jenkins shares your project
}
}
}
}
See? It's like giving Jenkins a step-by-step recipe for your project!
