use git repo name as ENV variable in jenkins job

Question

I am trying to figure out a way to get the remote git project name in a jenkins job as a env variable. I would like to use the project name as the "local subdirectory name" when jenkins clones the repo. is there a way to do this?

maybe something like ${GIT_REPO_NAME}

I know that there is ${GIT_REPO_URL} and it includes the project name, but I need to be able to use this in the local sub directory field.

if someone has a better solution for this I am all ears.

thank you!

Answer 1

Here's a simple one-liner:

env.GIT_REPO_NAME = env.GIT_URL.replaceFirst(/^.*\/([^\/]+?).git$/, '$1')

/^.*\/([^\/]+?).git$/ is a regex that creates a back-reference to just the repo name.

Answer 2

^.*?(?::\/\/.*?\/|:)(.*).git$ use this pattern for both http and ssh if you want to get full repo path {owner}/{repo_name}
