Jenkins setup: 2.477

Hi. Im just learning how to use Jenkins. Im using Git with it.
I have small script saved to Git and I managed to run it with Jenkins several times.

Then I closed Jenkins and after reopening it i got several warnins
First warnings were related to crumb… those I manage to get away.

But now i have this error:

Hello and welcome to this community, @minervatanhua. :wave:

The error message seems to indicate that Jenkins is unable to fetch the remote Git repository because it is not recognizing the workspace as a valid Git directory. :thinking:

This can happen if the workspace directory is not properly initialized as a Git repository or if there are permission issues. :person_shrugging:
