Question

Let’s say I have a repo called “stuff”. [e-mail]:mine/stuff.git

when I do a git clone of this repo from the command line, it creates a directory called “stuff” and puts everything in that directory.

When I set up hudson to use git, it puts everything in the directory

$hudson_home/jobs/myjob/workspace/*

with no “stuff” after workspace. Just the items inside of stuff.

How can I make hudson clone the repo like the commandline does, namely:

$hudson_home/jobs/myjob/workspace/stuff/*

I see no options for this and I do not want to change the default workspace path.

Answer 1

I don’t know whether this feature is in Hudson, since I have upgraded to Jenkins.

But if you click “Advanced” at the bottom of the Git section (there are two “Advanced” buttons), there is a property called “Local subdirectory for repo” which does what you want.
