Continuous Integration Build Server

The following section is both for internal reference for the build server used by the Niftools team. We encourage developers to build their own; it provides a fast feedback loop, encourages you to run a test and fix them when they get broken.

We use Jenkins as our build server

  • Git Client & Git Plugins: Used to grab the repo
