从linux中的jenkins连接时，git repository出现403错误

Question

Hi I just want to configure my project from github to jenkins to generate build. I'm getting following error

Failed to connect to repository : Command "/usr/bin/git ls-remote -h 
https://github.com/xxxxx/yyyyy.git HEAD" 
returned status code 128:
stdout: 
stderr: error: The requested URL returned error: 403 Forbidden while 
accessing https://github.com/xxxxx/yyyyy.git/info/refs

fatal: HTTP request failed

I have added git path at Global Tool Configuration also. I've setup jenkins in linux centos server.

I have found few similar questions in stackoverflow but that doesn't give a solution

Can anyone please tell me what may be wrong in that ? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

A bit late, but this solutions works for me. Just change the URL from

 https://github.com/xxxxx/yyyyy.git

to

 https://youruser@github.com/xxxxx/yyyyy.git

Answer 2

Try creating an SSH Key. This will allow passwordless communication between your jenkins server and Github.

Run the following commands from your jenkins server(as root):

sudo su -s /bin/bash jenkins
cd ~
ssh-keygen -t rsa  (Hit enter for all prompts)
cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub

Then, login to the github UI, go to SSH Keys, then paste the output of the last command into a new key.

You should be good to go at this point.

I also faced similar issue when configuring GIT in jenkins. After some investigation I found out that jenkins using default git installation which is 1.7.1 version. Then I installed the latest version and configured jenkins to use the latest version. Click on Maange Jenkins -> Global Tool Configuration -> Git to find the configuration section.
