# you can still edit the configuration using the web interface
# and get the modified config file back
$ jenkins-jobcfg.py fetch example-git-trigger
config-example-git-trigger.yaml

create/duplicate a job

$ cp config-example-git-trigger.yaml config-example-git-trigger-new.yaml
# eventually modify config-example-git-trigger-new.yaml
$ jenkins-jobcfg.py create config-example-git-trigger-new.yaml
