My jenkins build is suddenly not working now.The error is as follows:-

Fetching changes from the remote Git repository
 > git config remote.origin.url <         


        

Answer 1

I was seeing the same issue, but disk space and VM memory were not the problem. What fixed it for me was making the job re-clone on build:

1. Go to the job's "Configure" page
2. Under Source Code Management → Git → Additional Behaviors, add a behavior "Wipe out repository & force clone"
3. Save
4. Build

Answer 2

In my case, found that my infrastructure team member changed the ownership of the workspace. After changing folder ownership (in my case it jenkins:apache) its start working.
