Question

I\'m trying to connect jenkins on a github repo.

When I specify the Repo URL jenkins return the following error message:

Failed to connect to

Answer 1

Not mentionned here so far, but this can come also from stash. We encountered the same issue, the root cause for our problem was that the stash instance we use for jenkins did crash. Restarting stash solved it in our case.
