Jenkins-Zero-To-Hero is a hands-on learning repository that teaches Jenkins from scratch, starting with installation and moving all the way to building end-to-end CI/CD pipelines. The course is designed around running Jenkins on an AWS EC2 instance, guiding you through installing Java, configuring Jenkins, and exposing it safely via security group rules. From there, it covers installing plugins like Docker Pipeline, configuring Docker as an agent, and wiring up multi-stage and multi-agent pipelines. The folder structure includes practical examples such as java-maven-sonar-argocd-helm-k8s and python-jenkins-argocd-k8s, showing real CI/CD flows that build, test, analyze, containerize, and deploy apps to Kubernetes via Argo CD in a GitOps style. The README walks through detailed step-by-step commands and screenshots, making it accessible to beginners who are unfamiliar with Jenkins, AWS, or pipelines.
