Another issue i faced with was  ssh exe was not looking at the  userprofile   ssh folder for the key files  Instead it was looking to the folder C  Program Files  x86  Git  ssh which was empty and which causes a hang due to ssh authentication prompt on the machine where git repo located    We just copied the key files under  userprofile   ssh to C  Program Files  x86  Git  ssh and the problem is resolved

In case the Jenkins is triggering a build by restricting it to run on a slave or any other server  you may find it in the below setting under  configure      then the Path to Git executable should be set as per the  slave server hostname  or any other server where the git commands are executed

I had the correct path to git in Jenkins  but I had not yet accepted the Xcode build tools EULA on a fresh install of OS X Yosemite  so git looked like it was failing in Jenkins  After trying  git --version  on the git at  usr bin git in a terminal  I was given a command-line interface to accept the EULA  and then Jenkins could then access the git URL I had given the build project

I got a very similar error when my Jenkins agent was running Java 11 instead of Java 8  It had nothing to do with configuring my git path  Downgrading the agent to Java 8 was the only solution I found

If you do not copy and paste the full file path addess e g  C  Program Files Git bin git exe  in the  path to executable  field when configuring Git  it can lead to errors  Windows 8  amp  10 for instance have a  copy path  functionality which really works and helps to get full path name  Mac should have something similar  Its always best to use that rather clicking in the path address address bar and copying  This does not usually give the full file path and may cause a lot of troubles if you forget to edit the path at its destination   Path copycopy is also very good add-on for copying full path

I had a similar problem finding the git executable on OS X    I had to change my Path to Git executable to    usr local git bin git  Might give that a shot if you are still stuck

Please install git in your Jenkins server  For example  if you are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux where you are hosting Jenkins  then install git in that server using the following command  sudo yum install git This should solve the problem as git executable will be available in  usr bin git then and this will be recognized automatically by jenkins and this you can verify by navigating to Manage Jenkins --  Global Tool Configuration  Then under Git installations  there will not be any warning and now you should be able to clone your git project in jenkins  Hope this help the users

I had similar problem  the solution for Windows looks the same  my Jenkins is installed on a Windows machine    Global settings   Go to Manage jenkins -  Configure System -  Git installations add there the git exe path  for example  C  Program Files Git bin git exe   or you can use environment variable   For Jenkins version 2 121 3  Go to Manage jenkins -  Global tool configuration -  Git installations -  Path to Git executable  C  Program Files Git bin git exe  Jenkins job side   Go to Source code Management -  select git  add your repository  choose connection to repository  http ssh  and add credentials and it should work

Like Darksaint2014 said  you need to configure two parts if you installed Jenkins in Windows    If you installed your Jenkins in windows  you need to install Git in both local and your linux server  then configure below in both locations     Global tool configuration       For server side
