Use homebrew packages in Jenkins in MacOSX

Question

How do I enable, somehow, my Jenkins instance (installed via homebrew) to use the packages that I've installed via homebrew. For example I can't call git from a SH job in Jenkins because I'v installed Git ia homebrew and due that this package (Git) is not available to the Jenkins user.

Below I'm trying to call brew for test and I'm getting a error:

+ brew

Build step 'Execute shell' marked build as failure

Should I had install homebrew for all users?

Just add /usr/local/bin to the environment variable PATH.

There is many ways to accomplish this. You can configure it in the global properties (Manage Jenkins -> Configure System -> Global Properties) or use plugin such as EnvInject or even simply set it in the beginning of the script block, e.g.

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
