Answer 1

Try doing this, it’ll help you get rid of any HTTP S credential issues

• Use SSH URL instead
• Use the Jenkins SSH credentials plugin-> This plugin allows you to store SSH credentials in Jenkins.

Answer 2

Probably git is not configured properly in Jenkins. Check that out once.

Answer 3

Follow these steps:

• Go to Manage Jenkins
• Go to Global Tool Configuration
• In Git / Path to Git executable enter C:\<whatever the path is>\git.exe.
• Click on Save.

This was the error when i tried to build a jenkins job on the windows slave agent. I resolved it by correctly configuring the Git.exe location on my windows slave agent.

Go to Manage jenkins -> Manage nodes -> click on the windows_slave agent -> Configure

Under Node properties -> tool locations-> Specify the correct path of your Git.exe (In case you don't know the location of git on your machine,run "where git" command) -> save.

Thank you for this information helped me alot!
