How to use Git Tokens in Jenkinsfile

I'm trying to use Jenkinsfile to clone git branches and merge them. Skeleton code is as below:

pipeline {
    agent { 
        label ""
    }
    stages {
        stage("Git") {
            steps {
                git( url: , credentialsId: )
            }
        }
    }
}

Everytime I run this I get the error

stderr: remote: Password authentication is not available for Git operations. remote: You must use a personal access token or SSH key.

Does anyone know how to use git tokens from within jenkinsfile? I'd very much appreciate any help. Thanks

Solution

  • When using a GitHub access token, you must use standard Username with password credentials, where the username is the same as your GitHub username and the password is your access token.
