Enable incrementals

This site is the new docs site currently being tested. For the actual docs in use please go to https://www.jenkins.io/doc.

Jenkins evaluation of pull request builds is faster and easier when incremental builds are enabled. See the jenkins.io incremental build instructions for more details.

Create a branch

In a local copy of your fork of the plugin repository create a git branch for your work with the command:

git checkout -b {task-identifier} master

Run the Maven command to enable incrementals:

mvn incrementals:incrementalify

Create a pull request

Commit that change:

git add {modified-files}
git commit -m "{task-description}"

Push the change to GitHub:

git push origin --set-upstream {task-identifier}

Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0
remote:
remote: Create a pull request for '{task-identifier}' on GitHub by visiting:
remote: https://github.com/user/your-plugin/pull/new/{task-identifier}
remote:
To github.com:user/your-plugin.git
 * [new branch]      {task-identifier} -> {task-identifier}
Branch '{task-identifier}' tracking remote branch '{task-identifier}'.

Notice that the output of the command includes the URL, which can be used to open a pull request. Copy that URL in your web browser and submit a pull request.
