First Freestyle Job

Create the job

1. New Item → name hello-world → Freestyle project
2. Source Code Management → None
3. Build Steps → Execute shell:

echo "Hello from Jenkins!"
date
uname -a

4. Save → Build Now

Console output

Open the build → Console Output. You should see the echo, date, and kernel info.

What you just learned

• Jobs are the unit of work in Jenkins
• Builds produce numbered runs (#1, #2, …)
• Console log is your first debugging tool

Tomorrow you will connect Git, add credentials, and trigger builds automatically.
