I have connected windows machine as a slave to a Jenkins job
I have installed gitbash.exe in the windows slave machine
I need to execute shell commands from Jenkins in windows slave
Found some solutions like, Specifying the shell.exe path in the Jenkins > System configuration > executable shell and choose "execute shell" in the build step - But i should not do this as my Jenkins has several jobs configured with different slaves
How can i execute shell commands from jenkins build step?
Jenkins will execute whatever you have in your build steps on the slave that the build runs on. So if you have an "Execute Shell" step in your build, when it runs on any slave it will execute those steps.
the Git Bash shell installs here by default
C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin
On your windows slave machine, make that directory (or where-ever you installed to) the first item in the PATH (on the windows machine itself, not in jenkins), and restart your slave service
Since jenkins just runs sh.exe to execute the shell commands, it will find it via the PATH on the machine
