pennyworth

pennyworth is a set of scripts to make it easier to manage Jenkins job configurations.

The project is named after Batman's butler, Alfred Pennyworth. Since Jenkins uses a butler as their icon and Alfred is a butler, he seemed a good person to name the project after. Alfred was too generic a name, but nothing showed up in PyPi when I searched for "pennyworth".

Motivation

I wrote a hacky shell script a while ago to create Jenkins jobs based on my needs, but it fell apart once I needed to update configurations and suddenly my templates didn't work (different dependencies, different build triggers, etc.). The idea here is that while every job may still be a special snowflake, the pieces are stil pretty similar in most cases.

Installation

The easiest way to install is using pip.

$ cd /path/to/pennyworth
$ pip3 install .

Eventually I'll publish something to PyPi, and then a command like the following will work:

$ pip3 install pennyworth

Using

pennyworth uses sub-commands to perform various tasks. The built-in sub-commands are:

• build-jobs
• list-jobs
• validate
