using the new 'Jenkins CI' project service instead which is described in this
document.
 
The Jenkins integration includes:
## Overview
 
* Trigger a Jenkins build after push to a repository and/or when a merge request
is created
* Show build status on Merge Request page, on each commit and on the project
home page
[Jenkins](https://jenkins.io/) is a great Continuous Integration tool, similar to our built-in
[GitLab CI](../ci/README.md).
GitLab's Jenkins integration allows you to trigger a Jenkins build when you
push code to a repository, or when a merge request is created. Additionally,
it shows the pipeline status on merge requests widgets and on the project's home page.
## Use cases
- Suppose you are new to GitLab, and want to keep using Jenkins until you prepare
your projects to build with [GitLab CI/CD](../ci/README.md). You set up the
integration between GitLab and Jenkins, then you migrate to GitLab CI later. While
you organize yourself and your team to onboard GitLab, you keep your pipelines
running with Jenkins, but view the results in your project's repository in GitLab.
- Your team uses [Jenkins Plugins](https://plugins.jenkins.io/) for other proceedings,
therefore, you opt for keep using Jenkins to build your apps. Show the results of your
pipelines directly in GitLab.
