Jenkinsfile

A Jenkinsfile is a set of instructions written in code that defines how a software project should be built, tested, and deployed automatically. It acts like a recipe, telling Jenkins (a continuous integration tool) what steps to perform whenever changes are made to the project. By using a Jenkinsfile, teams ensure consistency, reduce manual work, and quickly detect issues, leading to more reliable software delivery. Essentially, it automates the process of transforming code into a working application, making development more efficient and predictable.
