There are few steps that you should follow:

1. Configure a web-hook in GitHub by which you will start communicating with Jenkins. This can be easily by going to your GitHub repository --> Setting --> Web-hooks.

2. Make the entry for content-type as application/x-www-form-encoded.

3. Select the event as Push event.
4. Create a String parameter in Jenkins Server by the name of "payload".
5. Following Step 3 GitHub would be able to wrap the content in this variable and send it to Jenkins.
6. In Jenkins you can then read $payload variable when your build is kicked off.
7. Parse the JSON using library of your choice
