jenkinsator

How to install it

Just download jenkinsator.py file and follow the instructions.

How to use it

I.e. replace all occurances of SOURCE by DEST for the list of jobs provided in file jobs.txt:

python jenkinsator.py JENKINS_URL --login=LOGIN --password=PASSWORD job --replace "#SOURCE#DEST" --list-from-file=jobs.txt

For more details check:

python jenkinsator.py --help

How to provide credentials in secure way

The tool supports two ways: secure and in-secure (as it was shown in example above). The secure way is a little bit more complex and it uses the magic of .netrc in case of Linux/Mac or _netrc on Windows. So, all you need is to create a ~/.netrc file this follow content:

default
        login <your_login>
        password <your_password>

or

machine <jenkins_host_name>
        login <your_login>
        password <your_password>

If you just created the .netrc file, you must change the permission to 600 using the follow command:

chmod 600 ~/.netrc

Done! Now jenkinsator will be able to get the credentials from this file.
