Description

I am currently running Jenkins on a Github Organization and found that the functionality of GitHub Branch Source is the best plugin for adding Organization capability to Jenkins. However, my use case requires that the end users of my organization cannot edit the Jenkinsfile that I use for each individual repository. However, I am not able to edit the build configurations utilizing the current Github Branch Source plugin so I will be forking and adding that functionality to that effect. 

 

I am taking inspiration from this plugin: https://plugins.jenkins.io/pipeline-multibranch-defaults

 

Please comment down below for any concerns, suggestions, warnings, etc. and be on the lookout for the PR adding this functionality.
