SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires jq, curl, git, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Jenkins CI/CD workflows often require manually pushing code and constantly checking build dashboards. This skill automates the push-and-monitor workflow, giving you real-time feedback and reducing context switching.

Core Features & Use Cases

Push changes and automatically monitor Jenkins builds, streaming status and logs to help you identify failures quickly.
Inspect build timing, pipeline structure, and queue contention to optimize CI throughput.
Use cases include pushing a change and following the resulting pipeline, checking if CI is green, and diagnosing bottlenecks across the pipeline.

Quick Start

Push your staged changes with buildgit push and watch the Jenkins build unfold in real time.

FAQPage Schema

How do I monitor Jenkins CI/CD builds from the command line?▼

You can monitor Jenkins CI/CD builds from the command line by using a skill that automates the push-and-monitor workflow, streaming real-time status and logs directly to your terminal to identify failures quickly.

Can I push code and watch the Jenkins pipeline unfold in real time?▼

Yes, you can push code and watch the Jenkins pipeline unfold in real time by running a command that pushes staged changes and automatically streams the resulting build status and logs.

How do I diagnose bottlenecks and analyze build timing in Jenkins pipelines?▼

To diagnose bottlenecks and analyze build timing in Jenkins pipelines, you can inspect pipeline structure, queue contention, and downstream results via REST API to optimize your CI throughput.

Do I need curl and jq installed to interact with Jenkins REST API for build monitoring?▼

Yes, you need curl and jq installed because they are required dependencies for interacting with the Jenkins REST API, fetching pipeline graphs, and parsing timing data for robust error handling.

What is the best way to automate checking if Jenkins CI is green after pushing code?▼

The best way to automate checking if Jenkins CI is green is to use a command-line tool that pushes your changes and automatically monitors the build status, reducing the need for manual dashboard checks.
