jenkins - Error cloning remote repo 'origin

问题:

I have setup Jenkins server running locally on my machine. Configured a Jenkins job to clone BitBucket repository. Also did the following: * Generated SSH-Key initially to connect to BitBucket. Later changed it to clone from HTTPS using username & password which have been configured in the "Credentials" section in Jenkins * Also did an init on the folder where the workspace is created as a result of the Jenkins jobs. In my case it is C:\Jenkins\jobs\\workspace.

Getting the following exception:

ERROR: Timeout after 10 minutes
ERROR: Error cloning remote repo 'origin'
hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Command "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe

回答1:

I managed to get around this problem. I was definitely sure that it was something to do with the git.exe path and I was correct. When I ran the following command in git bash, it gave a different path for git.exe

$which git
/mingw64/bin/git

In my earlier configuration, I pointed to git.exe in the location /bin/git.
