Jenkins 1.623 from deb (Ubuntu Server 15.04)
Github plugin 1.12.0
Description
When setting up a Project with "Build when a change is pushed to GitHub" enabled, the webhook handler use the source code repository url to match the github project is applies on and ignore the dedicated field "Github project" (I.E. projectUrl).
I think this is not a wanted behavior as this field seems to be dedicated to this purpose.
Additionally this prevent from creating jobs that does not checkout the repository but are still triggered by the github webhook

Today I realised that the github plugin doesn’t automatically create the github webhook for my pipeline job which is configured to fetch the pipeline script from SCM. I guess github plugin doesn’t look at the pipeline script SCM settings and consequently can’t register the webhook.
To reproduce this you can run the following script in the jenkins script console:
import com.cloudbees.jenkins.GitHubWebHook import jenkins.model.Jenkins def myPipelineJob = Jenkins.getInstance().getAllItems().find { it.name == 'my-pipeline' } GitHubWebHook.get().registerHookFor(myPipelineJob)
then jenkins logs shows the following:
Jul 10, 2016 2:16:51 AM INFO org.jenkinsci.plugins.github.webhook.WebhookManager$1 run
GitHub webhooks activated for job my-pipeline with [] (events: [PUSH])
As you can see, there are no repository information thus no webhook was created.
When I do the same for a freestyle job, then everything works and the log output looks like this:
Jul 10, 2016 2:20:26 AM INFO org.jenkinsci.plugins.github.webhook.WebhookManager$1 run
GitHub webhooks activated for job freestyle-job with [GitHubRepositoryName[host=my-corp-github-enterprise.com,username=foo,repository=bar]] (events: [PUSH])

So it works fine with freestyle job but doesn't with pipeline?
Nothing wrong It works how designed by author.
Github project is used for linking and by some gh related plugins.
We plan implement more generic GH triggers that shouldn't depend on SCM, adding hacks right now is bad idea.
