Jenkins git-client: how to move to jgit on windows

Question

Since the Jenkins git-client plugin moved to use jgit, there have been a lot of issues with configuration and all of the solutions I have seen invo

Answer 1

Pending a better documentation (more complete than the user guide, and forums), I would rely on:

org.eclipse.jgit.test/tst/org/eclipse/jgit:

You will find tons of tests, illustrating how JGit is supposed to be used.

• Email, for instance, is read from the config file in tst.org.eclipse.jgit.lib.ConfigTest:

  authorName = localConfig.get(UserConfig.KEY).getAuthorName();
  authorEmail = localConfig.get(UserConfig.KEY).getAuthorEmail();
  

• SSH, as another example, reads its config file as illustrated in tst.org.eclipse.jgit.transport.OpenSshConfigTest

  config("Host orcz\n" + "\tHostName repo.or.cz\n" + "\tPort 2222\n"
    + "\tUser jex\n" + "\tIdentityFile .ssh/id_jex\n"
    + "\tForwardX11 no\n");
  final Host h = osc.lookup("orcz");
  

And so on...

You also have the recent (August 2013) JGit cookbook, created by centic (Dominik Stadler)

Grab it

git clone git://github.com/centic9/jgit-cookbook

Build it and create Eclipse project files

mvn dependency:sources eclipse:eclipse package

Run it

Import the project into an Eclipse workspace and execute the snippets there.

This cookbook has been updated to JGit 3.0.3.
