Can I have more than one Jenkinsfile?
Default place where Jenkins is looking for a Jenkinsfile is the root of the project with Jenkinsfile as the filename. One Jenkins job can only reference a single Jenkinsfile. If you have more Jenkinsfiles in your repository you will have to create a Multibranch Pipeline job for each one of them.
What is multistage pipeline in Jenkins?
Jenkins Pipeline allows you to compose multiple steps in an easy way that can help you model any sort of automation process. Think of a “step” like a single command which performs a single action. When a step succeeds it moves onto the next step. When a step fails to execute correctly the Pipeline will fail.

How does a multi-branch pipeline work?
A multi-branch pipeline is a concept of automatically creating Jenkins pipelines based on Git branches. It can automatically discover new branches in the source control (Github) and automatically create a pipeline for that branch.
What is multi branching pipeline?
The Multibranch Pipeline project type enables you to implement different Jenkinsfiles for different branches of the same project. In a Multibranch Pipeline project, Jenkins automatically discovers, manages and executes Pipelines for branches which contain a Jenkinsfile in source control.
Do you need one jenkinsfile or multiple jenkinfiles?
I am not clear on if we should have one Jenkinsfile or multiple Jenkinsfiles. It will not be a multibranch pipeline, as we do not create test branches and then merge back to a master. In the repository we have product1.0 branch, product2.0 branch etc, and build only one branch (the latest one).
How to create a jenkinsfile in Docker stack?
So I have a Jenkinsfile defining a build pipeline and then a Jenkins job (not pipeline) with a very simple deployment script for our Docker stacks.
Is it possible to have multiple jenkins pipelines in one repository?
I achieved to have multiple pipelines (Jenkinsfile) in a single repository. It’s not hacky but it was not exactly trivial, requires recent versions of Jenkins with updated Lockable Resources plugin and may require additional steps in the build procedure.
How to create a jenkinsfile pipeline in SCM?
Create Pipeline projects, one per each Jenkinsfile you committed in the repository. The pipeline should have a configured “Pipeline script from SCM” (in this example the pipeline can be named “MyProject_Build”, with a configured “JenkinsfileBuild”), with the “Lightweight checkout” flag checked (it’s actually the default):
