    Storing jenkins Configs in Github

This is current as of Jenkins LTS (1.580.3)

create a .gitignore file in your $JENKINS_HOME with the following
this may need tuning to your liking
ie storing artifacts etc
setup some ENV variables for the user that jenkins runs under.
I add the following to /home/jenkins/.bashrc
and restart jenkins

    export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Sir jenkins"
    export GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="sj@example.com"
    export GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="Sir Jenkins"
    export GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="sj@example.com"


create a new Jenkins periodic job with this bash script.


## JenkinsBashJob
#!/bin/bash -e

# Jenkins Configuraitons Directory
cd $JENKINS_HOME

# set git details etc
source .bashrc

git_status="`git status -unormal 2>&1`"
if [[ "$git_status" =~ Not\ a\ git\ repo ]]; then
  echo
  echo "NOT A GIT REPOSITORY"
  echo
  exit 1
elif [[ "$git_status" =~ nothing\ to\ commit ]]; then
  echo
  echo "NOTHING CHANGED !"
  echo
  exit 0
else
  git add --all .
  git commit -am "Automated Jenkins commit"
  git push -q origin master
  exit 0
fi
exit 0
