I am using Jenkins in our builds
So I am already using the GIT Plugin
This plugin lets me specify Jenkins credentials, where we have already specified and installed/setup SSH keys.
However at the end of the build, I'd like to git tag my repo. I am calling the git.exe command line, and I get this error on a push:
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Ideally, we don't want to use another plug in, (e.g. Git Publisher), as we are trying to do more of this via our own scripts as there is a good possibility that we may not use Jenkins in the future.
Also, ideally, we don't want to install items on our build server if we don't have to.
So the question is - how can I specify ssh keys/credentials on the command line for the given 'session'?
Thank you.
Put this in a shell script:
ssh -i path-to-your-private-key
Set the path to the shell script in GIT_SSH for Jenkins. git pull will then use that instead of plain ssh to access the remote repository.
Alternately you could configure ssh in $HOME/.ssh for the account under which Jenkins runs, but that can get tricky if your Jenkins runs as a Windows service.

I have a job that SSH into server and after that I need to git clone repository into this server that I SSHed before. How could I do it?
I set VCS checkout mode on agent, and set custom path
I think there are two ways to achieve it:
Use SSH Exec runner to execute git clone on remote machine
Use SSH Upload to upload previously cloned repository to remote machine
First one is faster but you need to take care of git auth on remote machine.
I'm currently using Jenkins on Windows 10, and using git as version control system.
Although I provided correct repository URL and credential, I cannot use jenkins with error below.
Failed to connect to repository : Command "git.exe ls-remote -h REPOSITORY_URL HEAD" returned status code 128:
stdout:
stderr: git#URL: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
Credential and URL doesn't seems wrong, since this build success previously with same credential. The only change after successful build was one line in build script.
git config --global core.sshCommand C:/Windows/System32/OpenSSH/ssh.exe
After I success with this script, git setting keeps failed. Is there any problem with that line? And how can I fix it?
EDIT
Problem solved! For anyone who has same problem, it was problem with the system user! Since ssh key stores in each user space, jenkins cannot detect where the ssh key located. Therefore, go to 'service' in windows, and change user of jenkins service to the user who has correct ssh key. It solved my problem!
Seems there is some problem in Jenkins.
It cannot locate OpenSSH folder in System32, and so that I cannot get log with it.
That would explain why the main Jenkins controller (aka "master" in old terminology) cannot contact the Git repository (assuming an SSH URL here, with technical remote user account "git")
Try and remove that git configuration to see if the error persists: Git should fall back to its own ssh.exe, packaged with Git For Windows.
As noted by the OP, this only works if said Jenkins is run as a user account, not as the system account.
Only then will it be able to access the %USERPROFILE%\.ssh folder.
I want to perform CI/CD on remote server running on windows for hosting my VueJs project. For doing that I have performed the following steps
I have added my ssh of my local machine to remote server as authorised keys and I am able to access the admin(cmd) remote server via ssh by using the following command.
ssh remote_server#<ip_address>
Using the above command the git bash opens cmd with following location c:/users/remote_user1 of remote server where I had added ssh of my local machine as authorized key.
I created bare git repo in C:/users/remote_user1 by logging in remote computer by rdp using the following command
git init test.git --bare
I gave Full access rights to test.git from remote server
I tried to clone test.git on my local machine using the command from git bash
git clone ssh://remoteserver#<ip_address>:/test.git
when I use the command from my local machine I get the error message from git bash
fatal: ''/test.git'' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
I am not able to understand what am I am doing wrong here, Please guide me on this.
The format for ssh urls must be one of :
# 'ssh://' url :
ssh://remoteserver#<ip_address>/test.git
# scp-like syntax :
remoterserver#<ip_address>:test.git
(link to docs)
The url you posted contains a :/ which makes it a mixture of both, you should modify this url to match one of the two accepted formats.
I need to run a bash script that periodically deletes old git branches. I am having trouble finding a way to connect to the git repo via the execute shell option.
Currently I am using cygwin in order to run git commands. Here is what I have in execute shell:
#!c:\cygwin64\bin\bash --login
git ls-remote git#10.1.1.126:/external-web/collette-com.git
This command is throwing the following error.
[Delete Branches] $ c:\cygwin64\bin\bash --login
C:\Users\tbraga\AppData\Local\Temp\hudson5750784484659728632.sh
Host key verification failed.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
Build step 'Execute shell' marked build as failure
I have tried running this command in the command line and am prompted for a password. Could this be the issue?
I have the git plugin configured within Jenkins and the connection works perfectly when using Source Code Management Git.
Any suggestions on how to make this connections work in the execute shell field would be greatly appreciated.
I solved this problem by passing my credentials to my execute shell script through the Credentials Binding Plugin in Jenkins
It's simple enough to create an SSH key associated with your user.
Try here : https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/creating-ssh-keys-776639788.html
Put keys under %userprofile%/.ssh and try running it again.
You can also use the same credentials used in your Jenkins configuration
I use SSH keys for auth to Github and had this same issue. My Jenkins configuration has EC2 slaves, so the default SSH key on the machine wasn't correct for Github.
I fixed it with the SSH Agent Plugin. In the job, enable the "SSH Agent" setting and choose the stored SSH key for Github authentication. It should be the same one selected for the Git-SCM configuration used to clone the repo.
I get this error when configuring git repo in a new jenkins project:
Failed to connect to repository : Error performing command: ls-remote -h file:///c:\Dev\git\rx HEAD
I have a local git repo on my windows machine and cloning the same path from command prompt works on the same machine. I don't know what could be the problem (git.exe is on system path)
Windows installs Jenkins as a service. But it runs the Jenkins service under different user permissions that don't have access to GIT. You can follow this link to find the user that Jenkins runs under. http://antagonisticpleiotropy.blogspot.com/2012/08/running-jenkins-in-windows-with-regular.html
For example. My local user name on my windows is "nathandrewsire", exclude the quotes. Open windows services manager (either cmd and c:\services.msc, OR use windows key + R). Enable Log On > This account:. Then type in .\username (e.g. .\nathandrewsire). Then restart the service and you will have access to GIT from Jenkins builds.
I also found a snippet for windows shell command that will output the user to verify it.
echo %PATH%
echo %USERDOMAIN%\%USERNAME%

Linux
If you're using Linux, this error can also be caused from not enabling share on your Git repo. Linux jenkins user won't be able to access Git report under another user unless....
git --bare init --shared=group
Also, your jenkins user and Git repo user must belong to the same group for file permission access. There's other alternatives to that like messing with umasks and ACL's but setting up a linux group for your two users is the easiest way.
Make sure NOT TO OVERWRITE your Git repo with the bare init command. If you already have a Git repo, you'll need to setup/move to a new one with the shared option. I didn't see a way to convert existing repos to shared because I am guessing the files would all need to be updated?
NOTE***
I used VMWare Workstation shared folders to build on a windows guest. Jenkins needs the following format when entering the Git repo.
//vmware-host/Shared Folders/vm-share/ridcyDevelopment.git/
