Are you using Jcasc? If so, then you need to update the JCasc configuration:

- configure Github ssh in the UI
- export the JCasc configuration from the UI and paste it in your `jenkins.yaml`

Jcasc documentation explaining all of this in more details: [configuration-as-code-plugin/README.md at master · jenkinsci/configuration-as-code-plugin · GitHub](https://github.com/jenkinsci/configuration-as-code-plugin/blob/master/README.md)

Edit: I saw in your other question that you are using the helm chart, in which case you might also want to read [helm-charts/README.md at f4f5d23e139359a985f5ea87ae080fe327bead9f · jenkinsci/helm-charts · GitHub](https://github.com/jenkinsci/helm-charts/blob/f4f5d23e139359a985f5ea87ae080fe327bead9f/charts/jenkins/README.md#configuration-as-code)
