Jenkins - Unable to resolve git exception

[senthil murugan]

Dear guys,

I am getting an error stating that "Error cloning remote repo origin"

Caused by :hudson. git.GitException: Error performing command  c:\.program files\Git\ bin\git.exe init /opt/jenkins-slave

I have already set the git windows path in Global tools correctly.

Jenkins master is windows server and Slave node in Linux.

This is a pipeline job and It tries to run using windows git  path instead of Linux one. Please advise.

JENKINS-54053 describes the same problem and offers a workaround to the problem.  Define a git tool in the Jenkins Global Tool Configuration and use 'git' as the tool path.  That will allow Jenkins to use the operating system PATH to find the executable.
