Reuse one Jenkins jobs for multiple Git (GitHub) repositories

Question

I have a very simple Jenkins build which is needed for several repositories. All these repositories have the same organisation, the same branches, etc. There is no difference except the repository name.

Each single repository should be able to trigger the build for only this specific repository. I imagine something like combining a parameterized build with a WebHook URL containing a query parameter for the repository name maybe.

Any ideas or pointers about that?

I know this question is already answered, but there is another simple way of triggering a single Job from multiple GitHub URLs.

You could use Generic Webhook Trigger Plugin to build same Job from different GitHub repositories. You need to assign unique token to the Job and configure the Webhook of multiple GitHub repositories as:

JENKINS_URL/generic-webhook-trigger/invoke?token=TOKEN_NAME
