Description: Source code management (SCM) in Jenkins is a fundamental feature that allows the integration of the Jenkins automation system with various version control systems. This functionality facilitates the management and tracking of changes in source code over time, enabling developers to collaborate more efficiently. Jenkins supports multiple SCM systems, such as Git, Subversion, and Mercurial, which provides flexibility and adaptability to different development workflows. By integrating SCM with Jenkins, developers can configure jobs that automatically trigger in response to changes in the code repository, allowing for continuous integration and more agile deployment. This feature not only enhances visibility into the development process but also helps maintain code quality by running automated tests whenever changes are made. In summary, source code management in Jenkins is an essential tool for implementing DevOps practices and adopting infrastructure as code, as it allows development teams to manage their projects more effectively and efficiently.
