Question

When I gave the local repository path in Git under the Jenkins, I am getting the error message:

Failed to connect to repository : 
Command "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe ls-remote -h E:/New folder (2) HEAD" returned status code 128:
stdout: 
stderr: fatal: bad config file line 1 in C:/\Users\usr1/.gitconfig

How can I troubleshoot this issue?

Answer 1

You need to be sure what %HOME% (which isn’t defined by default) refers to (before launching Jenkins):

C:/\Users\usr1 might not be an accessible path, while C:\Users\usr1 might.

As mention in this blog post:

Create a new Execute Shell build step. Execute the command:

echo $HOME

Run the build and examine the output to see where $HOME is located
