Job DSL

• It's a good practice to version your DSL in a git repository
• This way, your seed job cab be builded automatically (via git hooks) every time a DSL is updated in the git repository
• Building the seed job with the updated DSL will update the child job
• For that script security for Job DSL scripts must be disabled under
• This option enabled prevents DSL from being loaded from a local file

Pipelines

• A multi-branch pipeline is a "folder" generates a job for each git branch that contains a pipeline
