And this software lets you extract Jenkins jobs to YAML:

I don’t know, how well the two (“builder” and “wrecker”) work together – how does the “wrecker” deal with Shell/Batch/… build steps?

Looks to me like the JJW is only python-2.7 compatible. And after running “pip install …” I don’t get it to work.

My own “build step extractor” targets only exactly extraction of the named build steps. And I don’t intend to support the other direction (i.e. the upload). You can always upload and past changed Shell script build steps on your own (for the time being).
