Thank you for your suggestions. I am new to Jenkins, but I did look at the Pipeline approach with a Jenkinsfile. It occurred to me that an "innocent" student might choose to change the content of the file. That might not be a good thing. I am also concerned that the Github Organization plugin appears to be at end-of-life.
I have just discovered the Generic Webhook Trigger, and have successfully implemented it on my Jenkins instance and with a webhook at the organization level in Github. Seems to work. I have successfully passed four bits of information from the JSON data in the webhook payload to my build script, and now I just need to put in some front-end code to identify which assignment is being submitted. That information can come from the prefix of the repo name. I will continue to look at using Pipelines (mainly because that is all the Jenkins docs want to talk about) but i will go with my Generic Trigger solution until I my requirements force me in a different direction. ...ted On Fri, Jul 20, 2018 at 6:25 AM, Jan Monterrubio <janmonterru...@gmail.com> wrote: > This definitely sounds like what Mark suggested.
