Installing a custom device using a Jenkinsfile?

[larboc]

Probably a very stupid question, but in several custom devices on GitHub there are "Jenkinsfile" s contained in the .zip file, how do I open these? I assume it's part of an automated build and install process?

an example custom device:

larboc,

Jenkins is used for autobuilding and testing changes to the custom device repos. The Jenkinsfile is used to tell Jenkins what to build and test.

It isn't used at all for installing the custom device, so if you aren't using Jenkins you can just ignore it.
