Regarding Git Installation on Slaves

[Jaya Nageswar]

Hi All,

I am pretty new to Git and Jenkins. Trying to setup automated build system in jenkins. Our Source code respository is Git. We support multiple platforms (like Linux, AIX, Solaris, HP & Windows ) for our product.

I have installed jenkins as service on Windows. Added all the build machines as nodes in jenkins. However I have a question. Do I need to install Git client in each of the builds machines for the builds to proceed? Or Is it sufficient to have Git in jenkins machine (master) so that it can push it to the slaves. 

Any clarification here is very helpful to me. Thank you in advance.

Regards,

-Jaya Nageswar.

You can either install command line git on each of the slaves, or you can enable the JGit implementation from the global Jenkins configuration page, then use JGit on all those slaves without installing command line git.

There are certain use cases which JGit does not support in the Jenkins git plugin, but those cases which it supports are generally reliable.
