I have done to get the cloning through the GID bash and it is cloning with no issues with the URl. I am also attching the image with the same.

Answer 1

Got here much later because of the error mentioned in the question and for new comers, now you should verify your git path at:

Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Global Tool Configuration > Git

In my case it didn't have the path to git binary in the PATH environment variable, so I added: C:\Program Files\Git\bin to it.

Answer 2

I got the answer...just wanted to post here so that if some new programmer are there (like me) can look the basic things :-

While going in the project--> Configure--> set the path of the git correctly.

It should be till the bin and then append git.exe like *\bin\git.exe

Answer 3

In my case this issue happened because of there is no git installed on my CentOS server.

1. sudo yum install git
2. git --version

After installing git i just make sure that my Global Tool Configuration default pointed to git Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Global Tool Configuration > Git

• Name : Default
• Path to Git executable : git

just posting this may help you in case of similar issue you had

Answer 4

Please give the installation path of git.exe in Git executable field in the Global Tool Configuration.In my case it worked after the path was set as below
