While building a git project from jenkins it shows an error like couldn't find any revision to build


While trying to build a git project through jenkins it gives an error

ERROR: Couldn't find any revision to build. Verify the repository and branch configuration for this job. Finished: FAILURE

What does this error means and what should I do to remove it?


Solution

  • I confirm: an empty repo has no HEAD, and no branch. I mention this in "Why do I need to explicitly push a new branch?"

    That means Jenkins, once the repo is cloned won't be able to checkout a branch (since there is none yet).
