CloudBees has announced a graphical user interface (GUI) for Jenkins X. The introduction of a new GUI in its CloudBees Jenkins X Distribution gives developers more flexibility and a richer user experience, the company said.

The existing command line interface (CLI) loved by many developers is still available and continues to be enhanced, but now users have a choice to use the CLI or the new graphical environment, depending on which better suits their workflow.

In less than two years, approximately 885 developers have contributed code to the Jenkins X project and there are 176 contributing companies.

The Jenkins X project, initiated by CloudBees and other contributors in February 2018, is now part of the Continuous Delivery Foundation.

The CloudBees Jenkins X Distribution is a free offering from CloudBees.
