This plugin is letting me do everything I wanted. https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/GitHub+Integration+Plugin
The plugin lets me trigger pipelines based on pull request triggers from github without imposing any conventions on files that needs to be present in the source trees. I then able to simply provide my pipeline contents using the standard pipeline feature wherein a custom file from an SCM repo different from the one that contains the actual code to be built can be configured. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
