Answer 1

I find out the solution of this issue..there was an issue of authentication of jenkins with git server. Just resolve using below steps:

1. Open git bash on local machine and generate public/private keyes using command: ssh-keygen
2. Copy the id_rsa.pub content to C:\Users\your_windows_user_name here.ssh\known_hosts
3. In jenkins got to Source Code Management->Git->Credentials add
4. In Jenkins select Kind->SSH Username with private key, Enter directly -> Paste the private generated private key here from the file
5. on Linux Server go to.ssh/authorized_keys and paste the C:\Users\your_windows_user_name here.ssh\id_rsa.pub file content here
6. In jenkins project configuration go to the "Source code management" section and choose git->Repositary url-> paste this ssh://user@serverIP:/srv/repo.git
7. Select the Credentials which we create in step no. 3 & 4.

Answer 2

You have to exchange 'server_ip' with the IP of your server.

Username should to set to the correct one, too. You said that you can clone like this

ssh://user@serverIP:/srv/repo.git

But Jenkins is trying to clone like this

ssh://user@server_ip:/srv/repo.git
