Answer 1

You can register your git credentials in "Credentials" with your login and password to access the git repository by https protocol (below of "Manage Jenkins"), it will generate a credentialId (e.g. dd0d6733-cc2e-4464-bb7d-4b6af86fe40a) that helps Jenkins to use this credential in pipelines.

When you use Jenkins Pipeline, you can do:

node{
    git url: "https://tfs:8080/tfs/job.git", branch: "feature/migration", credentialsId:'dd0d6733-cc2e-4464-bb7d-4b6af86fe40a'
}

It will download your source codes to the job's workspace

Answer 2

This is now fixed and no more an issue with up to date plugin (as I'm writing this 1.19.0). It happened with git-plugin-client 1.6.x.

Answer 3

In my case, one Jenkins slave worked normally, while another did not. When I changed the Git executable from default to JGit, they both worked.

Answer 4

My solution did works well for Jenkins-Git-Plugin.

# create my exec
su root
darngit=/usr/bin/darngit
touch $darngit
echo "#! /usr/bin/env bash" > $darngit
echo "git -c sslVerify=false $@" > $darngit

Goto system setting, set git executable = /usr/bin/darngit

Answer 5

using git:// instead of https:// works for me on jenkins 1.644 with git client 1.19.6

Answer 6

I tried all stuff to get rid of certificate issue but then finally it is issue with git plugin. I roll back plugins to git 1.5 (from 2.0.3) and git-client 1.0.7 (from 1.6.3) and it worked find. Note that I tried git-client 1.4.6 first so that I can use credential option but it didn't work. So I think correct combination of these 2 plugins are important. This solution was mentioned at JENKINS-20533
