How to auto trigger Build when a change is pushed to GitHub

[Suryateja Hanumandla]

Hi,
Currently I'm doing with git poll, where I'm doing poll for every 2 mins. Is there any possibility instead of git poll mechanism in jenkins, because every now and then we need to poll the repo and check.

Thanks,
Surya.

You can use the git hooks:

- https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Git+Plugin (section Push notification from repository)

KK already posted the below post:

If you use github then use the webhooks configuration,.

Just install github-plugin, configure global and job settings according to https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/GitHub+Plugin and replace "poll scm" with "Build whenever commit is pushed to github".
