Failed to connect to

Answer 1

Check with below settings. That always work for me.

Jenkins Configuration :

1) Check whether git executable is appropriately specified

2) Provide SSH repository link git@blahblah

3) Under credentials >> Select Username and Authentication key (go to your server, Generate SSH keys ssh-keygen... Copy keys to JENKINS_HOME/,ssh) You should be able to connect to your GIT repository from Jenkins
