Trigger build on GitHub event

[Xiong Kezhi]

Hi, all

I'm currently finding a way to trigger the build when I receive a user's re-run request from GitHub (a GitHub checks event). I notice that the GitHub branch source plugin subscribed to the PR event and push event, but I still don't understand how it triggers the build after receiving them (the code base is huge). I need some guidance here, thanks!

Regards,

Kezhi

You can probably do it with Generic Webhook Trigger Plugin:

https://plugins.jenkins.io/generic-webhook-trigger/

A quick look at the docs:

https://developer.github.com/webhooks/event-payloads/

Tells me you should trigger when action has value rerequested.

There are examples of github usage here:
