Alternative for Multiple SCM plugin

Hi Team, 

Is there  any alternative plugin for Multiple SCM plugin to checkout multiple git repos in jenkins freestyle.

Hi, 

Can anyone please suggest the alternative for multiple SCM plugin.

Hi,

So using scripted Jenkinsfile. I've setup projects where it loads a file, and checks out those repositories dependencies, if they have a matching branch name then it builds them. The Jenkinsfile is used for "multibranchPipelineJob", then other jenkins jobs for develop and release use "pipelineJob", plus some environment variables so release knows it does the release stage.

String prerequisiteProjectName = 'parent-project-example'

String prerequisiteDir = env.WORKSPACE + '/prerequisite/' + prerequisiteProjectName

dir(prerequisiteDir) {
  try {
    git branch: env.BRANCH_NAME,
    url: scmUrlPull,
    credentialsId: env.SCM_CREDENTIALS_ID,
    changelog: false
  } catch (ex) {
    deleteDir()
  }
}

But regarding your original question, about freestyle and multiple scm, then I only use freestyle to execute groovy to create/maintain all the other jobs/views.

Hi, 

Thanks for the reply.

Having 100's of pipeline projects in Jenkins may lead to performance and disk space issues on Jenkins controller right. Correct me if I am wrong.

I run thousands of Pipeline projects on my Jenkins and have not see performance issues.  Jobs do use disc space, but that happens whether they are Pipeline or Freestyle.  It is a mistake to avoid Pipeline jobs because you're worried about performance and disk space issues with hundreds of jobs.
