5.5. Build Triggers
Once you have configured your version control system, you need to tell Jenkins when to kick off a build.
You set this up in the Build Triggers section.
In a Freestyle build, there are three basic ways a build job can be triggered (see Figure 5.23, “There are
many ways that you can configure Jenkins to start a build job”):
- Start a build job once another build job has completed
- Kick off builds at periodical intervals
- Poll the SCM for changes
