# Key CI/CD/Jenkins Concepts and their Usage

## Defining, Configuring and Organizing a Job
|
|
|
|
1. From the dashboard, click the "New Item" button.
|
|
2. Enter the item name "my-freestyle-job" and select "Freestyle project". Press the "OK" button.
|
|
3. In the job configuration, define the option to only keep the last 2 builds. Provide the description "A simple freestyle job". Upon building the project, a String parameter named `MESSAGE` should be provided. Press the "Save" button.
|
|
4. Trigger a new build by pressing the "Build with Parameters" button. Enter a value for the `MESSAGE` parameter. The build should finish successfully. Locate the provided parameter value in the build information.
|
|
5. Run the build two more times. What do you see?
|
|
6. Create a new view named "test". Add the job to the view.
|
|
7. Create a new folder named "freestyle" as part of the view. Move the job into the folder.
|
|
8. Locate the build information in `$JENKINS_HOME`. Inspect the directory structure.

We'll start by creating the new freestyle job.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configure the job as follows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The build will ask for a parameter value when triggered.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The build history only stores the previous two builds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create a new view.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After adding the job to the view, it will show up in a separate tab.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create a new folder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The job became a child of the folder after moving it there.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Navigating to the `job` directory under the Jenkins Home reveals the build history.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cd /Users/bmuschko/.jenkins/jobs/freestyle/jobs
|
|
$ tree my-freestyle-job
|
|
my-freestyle-job
