Use a Jenkinsfile
Run Jenkinsfiles inside GitHub Actions using a single-shot Jenkins master in a Docker container.
What is Use a Jenkinsfile?
Jenkinsfile Runner GitHub Actions is a proof-of-concept tool that allows developers to execute Jenkins pipeline scripts (Jenkinsfiles) within GitHub Actions workflows. It solves the problem of migrating or reusing existing Jenkins automation in GitHub's native CI/CD environment by running a transient Jenkins master inside a Docker container. This enables teams to leverage their investment in Jenkins pipeline logic while adopting GitHub Actions.
DevOps engineers and development teams who have existing Jenkins pipelines and want to integrate them into GitHub Actions without maintaining a separate Jenkins server. It's also for those exploring hybrid CI/CD strategies.
Developers choose this project because it provides a seamless bridge between Jenkins and GitHub Actions, allowing reuse of complex Jenkinsfiles without infrastructure overhead. Its containerized, single-shot approach ensures isolation and reproducibility while leveraging GitHub's ecosystem.
