Mastering Github Webhooks for CI/CD in Jenkins

If you're working with Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) using Jenkins and Github, you might have encountered a scenario where you need to set up webhooks effectively. The primary challenge is ensuring that after you successfully push changes to the develop branch, the integration continues smoothly to the master branch. In this guide, we'll guide you through the process of configuring Github webhooks to handle this scenario efficiently.

Understanding the Problem

You have two branches: develop and master. The goal is to automate the CI/CD process in such a way that:

When you push changes to the develop branch, a CI job is triggered.

If the CI job passes successfully, the changes get deployed (CD).

Then, you want to ensure that when these changes are merged into the master branch, the CI/CD process is triggered again.

However, you've noticed that your webhook currently only activates for pushes made to the develop branch and does not trigger for the master branch after merges. This is a common issue, but one that can be easily fixed by reconfiguring your webhooks.

Solution Overview

To ensure that your CI/CD job runs for both branches, follow these organized steps:

Step 1: Configure Webhook for develop Branch

First, set up your webhook to listen for push events specifically on the develop branch. This ensures that any changes made to develop will trigger your CI job.

Navigate to your Github repository settings.

In the "Webhooks" section, add or edit the existing webhook.

Make sure it is configured to listen for push events on the develop branch.

Step 2: Add Merge Step in CI/CD Job

Next, within your CI/CD pipeline for the develop branch, incorporate a step that merges changes into the master branch. This will facilitate the transition from development to production.

Open your Jenkins job configuration for the develop branch.

Add a post-processing step that merges your changes to master once the build passes.

Step 3: Configure Webhook for master Branch

Now, set up another webhook configuration to listen for push events on the master branch. This means that any time you push to master, it will trigger the CI/CD job set for that branch.

Again, go to the settings of your Github repository.

Ensure your webhook listens for push events on the master branch.

Step 4: Manage CI/CD for master Branch

Finally, update your Jenkins job for the master branch to build and deploy the new changes. This job should be triggered by the webhook you've just configured.

Open the Jenkins job configuration for the master branch.

Implement the necessary build and deployment steps.

Advanced Solution: Using Github Actions

If you seek even more control over this process, consider using Github Actions. By creating a simple job in Github Actions, you can trigger the webhook for both branches whenever there is a push event.

Create a new .yml workflow file in the .github/workflows directory of your repository.

Define a job that listens to push events for both branches and responds by calling your webhook endpoint.

Conclusion

Setting up Github webhooks in Jenkins for your CI/CD pipeline can significantly streamline your development and deployment process. By ensuring that both your develop and master branches are configured correctly, you can create a seamless workflow that reduces manual intervention and helps maintain code quality.
