Jenkins SCM-What does SCM mean in Jenkins?

Question

I have an option (a plugin?) called "Poll SCM" in Jenkins and I know what it does and how to use it. Please tell me what "SCM" stands for. Is it "Source Code Management", "Sync Code [something]"?

Answer 1

In Jenkins, SCM stands for "Source Code Management".This option instructs Jenkins to obtain your Pipeline from Source Control Management (SCM), which will be your locally cloned Git repository.
