ERROR: Error cloning remote repo origin Jenkins hosted inside Docker

Question

For a latest Jenkin hosted inside docker on windows 10, I am unable to do a git pull...

I created a test project using public repository on Github to build docker image.

Here is the error I am seeing in console. Not sure what's wrong here.

Here is my Git configuration in Global Tool Configuration

And Git is already installed on Windows 10 system where the build should happen.

Git is also installed on the container.

What could be wrong and how to fix that?

Answer 1

This is resolved by adding Git path into Global Tools Configuration.
