Save all Jenkins jobs to a repository

I have 15 Jenkins jobs configured in order to implement a specific flow. I am improving and editing these jobs as time goes by.

Is there a way to save all these jobs and its configurations to a repository or at least in the form of export jobs, save it and import when needed?

There are two plugins that will help you save Jenkins jobs, "SCM Sync configuration" and "JobConfigHistory" defined at the wiki.jenkins-ci.org website.

SCM Sync Configuration Plugin (which keeps the config in a SCM repository)

or

Job Config History Plugin (Saves copies of all job and system configurations)

The Workflow feature may let you write your entire process as one (Groovy) script, which you can then maintain in your version control system alongside other sources.

The Job DSL Plugin allows to define the jobs in a DSL and store the DSL scripts in a SCM repo. The DSL increases the readability of the config files in contrast to the XML format.

For an intro, see the slides and video from the Configuration as Code: The Job DSL Plugin talk at the Jenkins User Conference 2015 in London.

You can move/copy jobs to another destination simply by copying directory with job (default path for jobs directories is /var/lib/jenkins/jobs).

You can get more info here - https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Administering+Jenkins
