Working with Git

Prerequisites

QuickBuild utilizes the Git command (git) to interact with remote Git repository. If this command is not in system path, you will need to specify location of the command by configuring Git plugin as below:

Further more, Git command (git) location can be specified on a per-node basis by following below steps:

1. Open Git plugin setting page and define the Git path property as:

   ${node.getAttribute("gitPath")}
   

2. For each node that does not have Git on system path, define the user attribute gitPath to point to the actual Git path like below:
   

NOTE: example above is just for demonstration, you can use any other user attribute name instead of gitPath.

Creating a Git Repository

You may refer to this page on how to add a repository.

Supported URL prefixes

Currently, below URL prefixes are supported:

• ssh://[user@]host.[:port]/path/to/repo.git/
• git://host.xz[:port]/path/to/repo.git/
• http[s]://host.xz[:port]/path/to/repo.git/
• ftp[s]://host.xz[:port]/path/to/repo.git/
• rsync://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/

If https is used, and your credential need password, you need first add the credential manually to the nodes which you want check out code to.
If ssh based URL is used, please use public key without password for authorization and you need not specify the password when you create the repository. You can reference your SSH manual on how to create public key without password.
