Git push (Windows server)

Using Jenkins Ask a question
1

I’m new to Jenkins and have a Windows install. I’m stuck trying to push tags to github.
I have the gitPush plugin installed, but can’t figure out the pipeline syntax for it.
Is this the right thing to be using or is there a better approach?
Thanks!

There is a better approach for Pipeline. The git plugin provides a withCredentials wrapper that will allow you to run command line git to perform the push. Read more about it in the git plugin documentation.

The example in the documentation shows a Windows example of git push:

withCredentials([gitUsernamePassword(credentialsId: 'my-credentials-id',
                 gitToolName: 'git-tool')]) {
  powershell 'git push'
}

That example assumes an https URL for the remote git repository. If you’re using an ssh URL for the remote git repository, then you can use the ssh-agent plugin to provide a plugin wrapper that will allow the same type of syntax.

Thanks for your help Mark

I have an ssh URL so have set up the script to use ssh-agent.
After changing the path to use the git ssh-agent and a reboot, everything is working.
