Trigger build on commit

How to trigger a build when a commit is made to github: (note: this is partly black magic - some steps may be missing)

1. Go to the repo on GitHub and edit the settings
2. Find the "Integrations & services" section
3. Add a service and choose "Jenkins (GitHub plugin)"
4. Configure the hook URL. It will likely need to be https://jenkins.openrisknet.org/github-webhook/

In Jenkins to check whether the events are being received:

1. Go to the job of concern
2. Look at the "Repository Events" section and you should see a new event when a commit is made to GitHub
