Using Jenkins pipelines as Github pull request cheks

jenkinsfile_pr_check.md

1. in Jenkins set up a multibranch pipeline with Branch source of type Github (under it, set up endpoint, credentials, repo name, etc.);
2. in Github go to the repository Settings and add the user chosen on the previous step to the repository's colaborators;
3. go to the Hooks menu and add a webhook pointing to <your-jenkins-host>/github-webhook/ and select pull request event under Let me select individual events option;
4. create a pull request - after that Jenkins should automatically start a build;
5. go to Branches menu under Settings and add the target branch to Protected branches;
6. choose Require status checks to pass before merging and continuous-integration/jenkins/pr-merge under it
7. commit a change into the pull request and see the Jenkins build result on the page.

Hi alces,
I am unable to get the result for "continuous-integration/jenkins/pr-merge" in edit branch page.
Can you please provide the steps to get it?

Hi, I don't know exact steps, but I've an impression that in order to appear on the list, the check should be executed at least once. A kind of a chicken-and-egg problem ;)
