JobPulse: Jenkins Jobs Managing Interface

Overview

JobPulse is an innovative web application designed to manage Jenkins jobs through a user-friendly interface. The frontend is developed using React with Tailwind CSS for sleek styling, while the backend is powered by Go. This application leverages Jenkins APIs to facilitate various operations on jobs, including creating new jobs, deleting jobs, building jobs with delays, retrieving job histories, listing all jobs, and fetching config.xml configurations.
