By integrating Jenkins and Gitea with webhook, you have full control over your own self-hosted continuous integration (CI) environment

First, save the Webhook:

Second, click on the Test Delivery button to test the connection:

Third, after a while you will see that the Test Deliver is success:

Finally, I complete the setup for integrating Jenkins and Gitea. In the next post , I will describe on the CI workflow for our Spring Boot application. Stay tuned!
