Missing git plugin

[Michael Power]

I installed jenkins 1.544 onto Ubuntu 13.10.  Upon trying to configure a maven2/3 build I found it had not GIT SCM option.  I figured the git plugin was not installed (I thought it was installed by default).   I reviewed the list of available git plugins, although there are many plugins listed the git scm plugin is missing.

I am unable to build a project using git or mercurial.  Both plugins are missing from the install and from the update site.

How do I build a project using git or mercurial?

I tried both the latest release 1.544 and the LTS 1.532.1.  Both are completely disfunctional for me.  I cannot clone the source so I cannot build the source.

The git plugin is not installed by default.  The Git plugin is listed in the "Available" tab of the Update Center as "Jenkins GIT plugin".  It will also include the "Git Client Plugin" when you select it.

Some questions that come to mind for consideration:

- How many plugins are listed in the "Available" tab of the "Update Center"?  If it is less than several hundred. then you probably have a connectivity issue to the Jenkins update center and are not seeing the plugins that are available.  If you have a proxy between you and the public internet, you may need to use the Jenkins global configuration or the Update Center configuration to provide that proxy information.

- Can you reach the Jenkins Update Center from your web browser?  Does http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/update-center.json return a page of JSON information?

User error, a single click resolved all my problems.  I had "match case" turned on in my browser search and I was searching for "git".  Hours of frustration solved by a simple click.
