Answer 1

Got here much later because of the error mentioned in the question and for new comers, now you should verify your git path at:

Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Global Tool Configuration > Git

In my case it didn't have the path to git binary in the PATH environment variable, so I added: C:\Program Files\Git\bin to it.

Answer 2

In my case this issue happened because of there is no git installed on my CentOS server.

1. sudo yum install git
2. git --version

After installing git i just make sure that my Global Tool Configuration default pointed to git Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Global Tool Configuration > Git

• Name : Default
• Path to Git executable : git

just posting this may help you in case of similar issue you had
