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.
