hi folks, i just created a jenkins server.  
i installed the default plugins  
Then i installed blue ocean  
i opened blue ocean and connected to the following repository  
[GitHub - kaisers0s3/cloudbeestraining: cloudbeestraining](https://github.com/kaisers0s3/cloudbeestraining.git) which is public  
the Jenkinsfile has the following-  
pipeline {  
agent any  
stages {  
stage(‘Fluffy Build’) {  
steps {  
echo ‘Placeholder’  
sh ‘echo Edited Placeholder.’  
}  
}  
stage(‘Fluffy Test’) {  
steps {  
sh ‘sleep 5’  
sh ‘echo Success!’  
}  
}  
stage(‘Fluffy Deploy’) {  
steps {  
echo ‘Placeholder’  
}  
}  
}  
}

then i get this error-

does anyone have any idea why this won’t work?

i am in my first year of jenkins-  
version is 2.452.2  
blue ocean plugin is 1.27.13

not finding much in google so anything will help.

I hope to become a part of the jenkins community i love this product!!  
i am a 30 year infr/systems/virtualization engineer who is trying to work in the cloud, so please bare w/ me lol

i figured out the problem. i was choosing Git instead of Github when creating a pipeline. i chose Github and entered my github URL, then i needed to create an access key on github, then it all worked.

If you are using GitHub, and if possible, I recommend that you create a GitHub application for jenkins. This will have entirely separate privileges from GitHub users and it has a larger API rate limit: 15k/h vs 5k/h for regular users.

There is documentation about this with the GitHub plugin.
