Answer 1

You will want to install the these plugins:

• https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Git+Plugin
• https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/GitHub+Plugin

The former will enable you to check out code from at git repository by providing a URL and credentials.

The latter will enable you to configure hooks and more between from and jenkins (eg trigger a build automatically on push to a branch).
