Jenkins Git Plugin Repository Url Variable

Question

Is it possible to use a variable in the repository url for the jenkins git plugin?

https://${GIT_USER}@github.com/e82eric/Prompts.git

When I try it looks like ${GIT_USER} is passed instead of the substitution.

According to the Jenkins Git-Plugin page, this should be working by now (Feb-2015).

Among the issues that were resolved:

• JENKINS-14276 - Git SCM-polling doesn't work when using a parametrized branch-name
• JENKINS-20427 - Build Parameter variable in branch name causes polling to detect false changes in GIT
• JENKINS-23675 - The git plugin is not working correctly when the repository url has job parameter and any repository credentials
• JENKINS-24786 - Since 2.2.6, environment variables are not expanded in git publisher
