Which is the correct installation directory for Jenkins to use? Here are the options I have tried and the results I have seen.

  • C:\Git\bin\git.exe

enter image description here

  • C:\Git\cmd\git

    same as above

  • C:\Git\cmd\gitk.cmd

enter image description here

If I continue and ask the job to build here is the console output.

Started by an SCM change Building in workspace C:\Jenkins\workspace\git_test Checkout:git_test / C:\Jenkins\workspace\git_test - hudson.remoting.LocalChannel@12f2468 Using strategy: Default Cloning the remote Git repository Cloning repository ssh:///[email protected]:test.git git --version Process leaked file descriptors. See http://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Spawning+processes+from+build for more information Fetching upstream changes from origin Seen 0 remote branches No candidate revisions ERROR: Couldn't find any revision to build. Verify the repository and branch configuration for this job. Finished: FAILURE

Since they all result in one error or another its not clear which one is correct.

This is not a problem with git not being found but that putty has not yet been told that it can trust the ssh-key presented by the repository sshd server.

Run a manual git command first on the Jenkins server, so you can say yes to accept the host key, and then try again.
