Carefully Curate Plug-ins Create a shortlist of carefully selected plug-ins, and stick to those. This list should take into account both security and maintainability concerns. As a general rule, it's best to stick with plug-ins that offer integration with cloud providers such as GitHub or Amazon Web Services as they often receive strong support from the community and developers of those cloud providers. For instance, GitHub plug-in is a well-maintained plug-in you can rely on. Test new plug-ins and upgrades on a secondary Jenkins server before you run them on your primary server.

BitBucket

Bitbucket is a free code hosting site for Mercurial and Git. Manage your development with a hosted wiki, issue tracker and source code.

Plug-ins are so central to using Jenkins that they make their first appearance in the installation process, where you're asked to select a plug-in to start with. The default installation comes with about twenty plug-ins, plus any that you selected during installation. These plug-ins are responsible for integrating your CI/CD with external tools such as GitHub or Bitbucket for version control. Plug-ins also extended the capabilities of Jenkins and the way it works. Even the pipeline system, which orchestrates builds, is a plug-in and can be modified using other plug-ins.
