Hi I’m a newbie,  
Running a Jenkins controller/agent lab on Kubernetes. K8s and Git plugin installed.  
I want to clone a Git repo, store it in a shared folder on K8, then Kaniko will use it to build a image.

Already tried to clone it from the Jenkins Agent and even from Kaniko container, but neither of them have Git installed. How am I suppose to do it? Sure I’m missing something… Any idea is appreciated.

Example:

> pipeline {  
> agent any  
> stages {  
> stage(‘Clone Git’) {  
> steps {  
> git branch: ‘main’, credentialsId: ‘git\_credentials’, url: ‘[https://github.com/](https://github.com/)/pythonapp.git’  
> }  
> }  
> }  
> }

Result:  
Running on Jenkins in /var/jenkins\_home/workspace/CloningGit  
[Pipeline] {  
[Pipeline] stage  
[Pipeline] { (Clone Git)  
[Pipeline] git  
The recommended git tool is: NONE  
using credential git\_credentials

> git rev-parse --resolve-git-dir /var/jenkins\_home/workspace/CloningGit/.git # timeout=10  
> Fetching changes from the remote Git repository  
> git config remote.origin.url /leosalcie/pythonapp.git # timeout=10  
> Fetching upstream changes from /leosalcie/pythonapp.git  
> git --version # timeout=10  
> git --version # ‘git version 2.30.2’  
> using GIT\_ASKPASS to set credentials Credenciales de Git  
> git fetch --tags --force --progress – /leosalcie/pythonapp.git +refs/heads/:refs/remotes/origin/ # timeout=10  
> ERROR: Error fetching remote repo ‘origin’

agent has been a deprecated term for many years, please use controller and agent instead.

None of what you’ve quoted says it doesn’t have git installed.

This is just saying the repo `/leosalcie/pythonapp.git` doesn’t exist, i think you want `https://github.com/leosalcie/pythonapp` instead

Thanks for your replied @halkeye.  
Yes, that’s the url. Forum’s policies didn’t permit to add more than 2 URL so I removed it.

Oh I see, so what could be causing the “timeout=10” issue? I’ve been trying to figure it out for a while.

Any suggestion?

Just to clarify this is my current pipeline:

pipeline {  
agent any  
stages {  
stage(‘Clone Git’) {  
steps {  
git branch: ‘main’, credentialsId: ‘git\_credentials’, url: ‘[GitHub - leosalcie/pythonapp](https://github.com/leosalcie/pythonapp.git)’  
}  
}  
}  
}

suggestions for what? you should use triple backticks to format your code for the forums (works on github too, and most markdown setups).

```nohighlight
pipeline {
  agent any
  stages {
    stage("Clone Git") {
      steps {
        git branch: "main", credentialsId: "git_credentials", url: "https://github.com/leosalcie/pythonapp"
      }
    }
  }
}

```

[worked just fine](https://ci.g4v.dev/job/demos/job/leosalcie/1/console) (though I removed credentialsId as I don’t have credentials named git\_credentials. MAybe your having some sort of proxy or lack of proxy issue.

Thanks @halkeye  
You were right, git cloned was completed successfully.

I thought the “timeout=10” msg was an error.
