Description

Looking at the official documentation in https://docs.cloudbees.com/docs/cloudbees-ci/latest/cloud-admin-guide/github-branch-source-plugin, do I understand correctly that the plugin only support pipeline jobs but not freestyle jobs?  The old https://plugins.jenkins.io/ghprb/ supports freestyle jobs, can we add freestyle jobs support to https://plugins.jenkins.io/github-branch-source/ ?
