Hello,

I'm looking into getting Jenkins to build feature branches for our github 
projects, but I'm not entirely sure where to start. Pipeline looks like it 
might fit the bill, but I'm having trouble getting my head round the 
Jenkinsfile. I've found the online docs and the "Groovy" generator but am 
not really sure how to tie it all together. If anyone has a bit oftime to 
help me, that would be great :)

We currently use our own build tool to test code as deployed to github, 
then build the artifacts into a debian package which is uploaded to Amazon 
S3 and deployed by hand later.

We currently have separate jobs for each of the major branches of our 
project:

subproject_a-qa
subproject_a-staging
subproject_a-production

subproject_b-qa
subproject_b-staging
subproject_b-production

subproject_c-qa
subproject_c-staging
subproject_c-production

The jobs are very simple - they poll github, looking at a specific branch, 
then if that has changed, they will execute a shell script which looks like 
this (generic):

sudo -Hs build_tool arg1 $GIT_URL <subproject_a> <environment(qa/staging/
prod)>

So, what I'd need is something that builds the following jobs when a 
feature branch is pushed to look something like:

sudo -Hs build_tool arg1 $GIT_URL <subproject_a> <feature_branch_name>
sudo -Hs build_tool arg1 $GIT_URL <subproject_b> <feature_branch_name>
sudo -Hs build_tool arg1 $GIT_URL <subproject_c> <feature_branch_name>

Or else, know how to build those.

Is this possible with Pipeline? Or am I looking at the wrong tool here? 
I've started a multibranch test project, but am basically stuck at the 
Jenkinsfile stage, and most tutorials appear to refer to using mvn, which 
I'm not familiar with. the build tool is written in Python and is testing 
building for Ruby on Rails :)

Any help very much appreciated. Any more info needed, please let me know...

Thanks

Jerry
