create a jenkins job in the script console

job.groovy

import jenkins.model.Jenkins;
import hudson.model.FreeStyleProject;
import hudson.tasks.Shell;

job = Jenkins.instance.createProject(FreeStyleProject, 'job-name')

job.buildersList.add(new Shell('echo hello world'))

job.save()

build = job.scheduleBuild2(5, new hudson.model.Cause.UserIdCause())

build.get() # Block until the build finishes

generatedJobs = build.getAction(javaposse.jobdsl.plugin.actions.GeneratedJobsBuildAction).getItems()

# FIXME skip .scheduleBuild2() on Folder jobs
generatedJobs.each { j -> j.scheduleBuild2(5, new hudson.model.Cause.UserIdCause()) }

Responding to an ancient post with hopes of some direction :o)

Needing to create a new branch using the beginnings of the script below (I need to use script like this). I am needing scm.??? for 1) complete a checkout and 2) push to origin (in script).

Many thanks in advance.

[Manual Git Steps that do what I need]

// CHECK-OUT - To create a new branch and switch to it, use git checkout -b <branch_name>.
git checkout -b release-dev master

// CHECK-IN
git push origin release-dev

[Partial Synthesis]

import hudson.util.RemotingDiagnostics
import jenkins.model.Jenkins
import hudson.plugins.git.GitSCM

def scm = new GitSCM("https://someurl/api/v3/repos/HPEFS/don-test")
scm.branches = [[name: "*/release-dev"]]
