What are Build Numbers in Jenkins?
A build number is a unique identifier assigned to every instance of software build for a continuous integration or continuous delivery (CI/CD) system like Jenkins. It acts as a sequential label for a particular build of a software project that helps in tracking, referencing, and organizing different versions of the codebase. The build number is normally an integer value that starts from 1 and gets incremented with each new build. This process helps in differentiating between different builds and also helps in understanding the order in which builds are executed.
In Jenkins, the build numbers that are associated with each build of a job can be used for various purposes like as identifying build-in logs, monitoring changes over time, and also referencing specific builds in the CI/CD pipeline.
