How can I solve this error?

Hi@akhtar,

You need to give to the jenkins user the system permissions to read/write/execute scripts in the temporary directory - usually /tmp/ - on both the master and the agents. The git client plugin can launch command from either the master or the agent.

• On the master, give the permissions to read/write/execute scripts in the temporary directory to the user running Jenkins

• On the agents, give the permissions to read/write/execute scripts in the temporary directory to the user running the agent

Hope this will work.

Thank You
