I was recently working on a project where I required only a particular folder inside a bitbucket repository to be cloned and tracked on the server. This was when I stumbled upon the sparse checkout feature that Jenkins offered. I decided to write this short post so that it might help you in case you have a similar requirement as me.<\/p>\n

I have the following folder structure:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nHere,I would like to clone and track only the survey<\/strong> folder highlighted above.
\nHere is how you can go about doing this,
\n1) Start off by creating a new freestyle project
\n2) Under the configure page, navigate to source code management<\/strong> section.
\n3) Here, click on the git<\/strong> option. Enter the repository URL followed by the credentials and the branch that you would like to build.
\n4) Now, besides the additional behaviour tab click on the Add<\/strong> dropdown menu, and select Sparse Checkout path <\/strong>option.
\n5) A textbox will be displayed. Here, enter the path to the folder that you would like to clone.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nGo ahead and save your configuration
\n6) Click on Build Now<\/strong>.
\nOnly the folder which was specified would be cloned and tracked on the server.<\/p>\n

And that’s it, you successfully did a sparse checkout using Jenkins!
\nFeel free to ask any further queries you have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
