Jenkins / JENKINS-33850 Git auto-install not usable with Git for Windows 2.x Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Mark Waite Components: git-plugin Created: 2016/Mar/28 3:06 PM Environment: Jenkins 1.642.2 running on Linux; heterogenous slave farm (win/linux) Labels: plugin slave user-experience git windows Priority: Major Reporter: Jörg Ziegler The (otherwise fantastic) auto-install feature can't really be used anymore since git-scm.org does not offer client downloads in zip format anymore. Currently even the portable installers are delivered as 7z.exe => see git-scm.org. It would be great to be able to auto download, install and use the git client for windows again. NB: the functionality appears to work great for the cmake build plugin - potentially this code can be reused? Add Comment

Zip files for MinGit are provided (as noted in the comment) on github.com. 64 bit Windows 32 bit Windows PortableGit can be downloaded as a self-extracting archive and then used to create a local zip file as well. Git for Windows is apparently not usable in that way, since PortableGit specifically exists so that the MSI installer is not required to install and configure it.
