0.61 -> Hello and welcome I am Raghav and in case you are using Jenkins, and if you try to connect

6.45 -> to a Git repository and if you are getting any of these errors, like failed to connect

12.169 -> to Git repository or error performing Git command: git.exe ls-remote or you get error

20.301 -> performing Git command git.exe init In all these cases, what you can do, let me show

26.71 -> you a demo So for example, I am on my Jenkins and I will go to one of my jobs And if I go

33.46 -> to configure jobs and go to the source code management section, you can see here I have

40.64 -> given a Git repository However, I am getting this message failed to connect to Git repository,

48.75 -> error performing Git command, git.exe ls-remote And if I run this job, I have tried to run

56.85 -> this job and let me show you the results in the logs This is the attraction of the job

62.399 -> and if I go to the console output, so you can see here Also, I am getting this option,

67.92 -> this message, error performing Git command git.exe init Now in all these cases, the most

75.03 -> probable issue is that Jenkins is not able to find the installation of it or the git.exe

82.38 -> on your system and it may happen that you do not have git installed on your system So

87.92 -> in my case, if I see, I will go to my C drive So which is the usual location for git installation

99.97 -> I will go to my C drive and here I will go to program files and you can see I have git

105.44 -> here You can also find this in your C program files X 86 or maybe some other location If

111.159 -> it is a different operating system and you can see you have your git exe here or you

117.549 -> can go to Bin and you should have your git.exe So this location should be available in Jenkins

124.95 -> So just in case you do not find this Git folder, you can download and install it You can just

130.009 -> go to your browser, git download And here you will go to this git-sem download You can

139.54 -> go here, it will download You can go here, it will download it and then you can install

145.11 -> it on your system So this is step number one, check git is installed and then step 2 is

155.25 -> if not, install git first and then step number 3 is provide location of git.exe in Jenkins

165.91 -> and you have to go to manage Jenkins So this is manage Jenkins, and then you will go to

173.77 -> so let me go and check I will go to my Jenkins dashboard and will go to manage Jenkins, and

180.66 -> you have to go to global tool configuration here So this is global tool configuration

187.959 -> and then go to the git section.

190.319 -> So I will go here global tool configuration and here go to the git section and here identify

198.29 -> if it is the default location, it should take by default But if it is not the default location,

203.819 -> which is C Program Files (x86) or all these locations, so Jenkins searches all these possible

211.85 -> locations If it does not find, you can always provide the path here So something like this,

220.349 -> so this is the path of my git.exe And now I will say, apply and save And now if I go

229.05 -> back to my job and let me see, I will go to Configure And if I go to source code management,

238.62 -> you can now see the errors are now gone So this is how you can have a solution for all

245.42 -> these possible issues of fail to connect to the Git repository in Jenkins, I hope this

251.849 -> was useful Thank you for watching.
