I've installed Jenkins on my mac (osx lion). But I couldn't get it work. This is the stacktrace I've got:

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.
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.
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.
Adding "/usr/bin/git" >> Path to Git executable, didn't work for me. Then I deleted the contents of $JENKINS_HOME/fingerprints and restarted Jenkins. The problem goes away.
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.
For Jenkins 2.121.3 version, Go to Manage jenkins -> Global tool configuration -> Git installations -> Path to Git executable: C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe It works!
In Jenkins, give the http URL. SSH URL shows similar error.
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.
Also you can set Git location in Jenkins server/node configuration:
goto Configure, under section Node Properties mark checkbox Tools Location and set yours path to Git.
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 & 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 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.
Environment:Linux Error: "jenkins Failed to connect to repository : Error performing command: git ls-remote -h"
Solution : if repository URL and credential configured correctly ,problem on git installion and config a) make sure git installed on your linux machine. if git not installed , install it ("sudo yum install git") b) Goto to -> Manage Jenkins -> Global Tool Configuration ->Git->Path to Git executable make sure "git" command present.
It seems Jenkins has been changing a lot. I fixed this problem in March 2017 by doing this:
Git / Path to Git executable
enter C:\<whatever the path is>\git.exe
