How would you design a Jenkins pipeline for multi-branch deployments?
Managing deployments for multiple branches (e.g., Dev, QA, Prod) in Jenkins can streamline the development and release process. This question focuses on setting up a Jenkins pipeline that supports multi-branch deployments, enabling different branches to deploy to specific environments. Examples might include a sample Jenkinsfile demonstrating environment-specific configurations.

A multi-branch pipeline in Jenkins lets you handle multiple code branches, each with their own deployment environment. Jenkins has the capability to automatically detect branches within a Git repository and run different steps based on the branch that it can detect.

For example,

Feature Branches: Run unit tests and build only.

QA Branch: Run unit tests, integration tests, and deploy to a QA environment.
Production Branch: Run all tests, perform security checks, and deploy to production.

The Jenkinsfile can be configured to conditionally execute stages based on the branch. This setup allows multiple branches to support independent development in parallel, each with its isolated testing environment.

To create a multi-branch deployment pipeline in Jenkins, you can use a Jenkinsfile that detects branches and assigns them to specific environments. Each branch can have dedicated stages, settings, or environments.

Example Jenkinsfile:

This pipeline runs tests on all branches but deploys to production only from main and QA only from qa.
