Introducing Inheritance Between Jobs
summary
Jenkins gets extended with a job inheritance plugin that factors shared SCM, build and publisher settings into reusable fragments, reducing thousands of near-duplicate freestyle jobs; Intel reports >1,000 jobs and roughly 50,000 builds per day driving the need. The implementation overrides project getters, adds inheritance-aware config pages and parameter merging, is already used internally at Intel, and the team plans an open-source release that applies changes to many jobs at the same time.
