🔰TASK DESCRIPTION🔰

JOB#1: If a Developer pushes their code to dev branch then Jenkins will fetch from dev and deploy on dev-docker environment.

JOB#2: If Developer push to master branch then Jenkins will fetch from master and deploy on master-docker environment.

JOB#3: Jenkins will check (test) for the website running in the dev-docker environment. If it is running fine then Jenkins will merge the dev branch to master branch and trigger JOB#2.
