I am new to Jenkins, I am getting following error while cloning repository from GitHub.
I tried to search all relevant issues here but could find exact stacktstrace with answers.
I am trying to clone repository which requires username and password, I am providing SSH:// repository-path in job configuration settings for my job. I have not done any .ssh related settings yet as this seems to be different problem than security issue with GIT repository.
I couldn't figure out what comment Jenkins is trying to execute, which file/directory it is not finding clueless.
Here is my exact stack trace from Jenkins job:

I encountered and fixed the same problem :)
There are two way to configure the path of git:
On Jenkins Master
a. Enter Jenkins System Configure (Jenkins -> Manage Jenkins -> Configure System )
b. Find the Git item and Configure the git installation (specify the git path on Jenkins Master)
On Jenkins Slave
a. Enter Jenkins Slave's Configure
b. Check the "Tool Locations" Checkbox and specify the path of git on the Jenkins Slave.
In my situation, I don't have the privilege to access the Jenkins Master. So I install the git on the Jenkins Slave and add it to Jenkins Slave's Configure.
