Question Jenkins has the Gerrit Plugin in place so that when we do check-ins to Gerrit, Jenkins performs a build and if it succeeds, then the modification in Gerrit is verified. If the build fails then it is not. My understanding is that this is accomplished through jobs set up in Jenkins.

Question In GitHub, what is the conceptual difference between a project (that can be created inside a repository) and a repository? I've seen several similar questions (here, here and here) in SO, but none of them explains what is a GitHub project, what is a GitHub repository and when to use each one of them. I would appreciate if someone can explain each term, and provide an example of when to use/create each one.…
