Assuming your Jenkins are running in a Linux or MacOS, or in Windows supporting Shell Script commands, configure a Jenkins job to execute the script below. Don't forget to replace the user and password fields and read the comment lines in order to understand and maybe improve it.

curl -i -u "user":"password" "https://github.com/your_organization" | grep "codeRepository" | awk -F '"' '{print $8}' | while read line; do
    mkdir "_temp_repo"
    cd "_temp_repo"

    # `--depth=1` clones the last commit only improving the speed of the clone
    # if you want to clone a specific branch add `-b branch` to the command below
    git clone --depth=1 "https://github.com"$line .

    # execute here your peding commands...

    git add .
    git commit -am "[pending] XPTO..."

    git push

    # execute here your success/failure commands...

    git add .
    git commit -am "[success/failure] XPTO..."

    git push

    cd ..
    rm -rfv "_temp_repo"
done

I would suggest create a SH file and execute in verbose mode: sh -x ./my_script.sh.

In order to perform it for every new update, setup a Github webhook to this job.
