Problem Solved using the following steps  
1- Make sure git is installed on your Machine  
for Windows check c-\>Program Files → Git → bin → git.exe  
otherwise download it  
2- Provide a location to git.exe to Jenkins  
Mange Jenkins → Tools → Git installations → Path to Git executable  
in Path to Git executable add the path of your local computer to git.ext  
ex:C:\Program Files\Git\bin
