Goal: Create a new plugin API so that plugins can publish GitHub checks status messages
Status: Completed
The GitHub Checks API allows developers to report the CI integrations’ detail information rather than the binary pass/fail build status on GitHub pages. This project is about implementing this API as a new Jenkins plugin. By consuming this API, other plugins can easily create GitHub checks. Thus, any information during the Jenkins process like warnings, summaries, and durations can be directly shown on GitHub pages.
