Jenkins Client

Jenkins Client brings Jenkins build status, recent builds, and Pipeline stage breakdown into VS Code. It watches active Git branches, matches pushed commits to Jenkins builds, and provides quick actions for jobs, logs, and secret management.

Problem

Context-switching between VS Code and Jenkins web UI slows down development and feedback loops during build and release cycles.

Solution

A feature-rich VS Code extension integrating status bar indicators, activity bar sidebars, secret storage for tokens, multi-branch job mapping, and webview Pipeline stage visualizers.

Responsibilities

Built VS Code extension architecture with TypeScript and VS Code Extension APIs.
Implemented Git branch watching and commit-matching algorithm for multibranch Jenkins pipelines.
Created webview Pipeline stage visualizer using Jenkins Pipeline REST API.
Used VS Code SecretStorage for secure API token persistence.

Achievements

Over 5,000+ active installations on the VS Code Marketplace.
Streamlined developer build-status monitoring directly inside the IDE.
Supported freestyle, pipeline, folder, and multibranch Jenkins job structures.
