Question

I have production Jenkins installed on RedHat server, with many Linux Slaves. Git plugin works flawlessly on Linux slaves but I didn't find any way to make it autoinstall git on Windows slaves (like it does in Java,Maven and Ant). enter image description here

If I can only make the Run Command work on Windows - this could be great... but it seems to run as sh - which is no good for Windows.

This makes me install git manually whenever I want to add Windows slave, which is no fun at all (don't ask why, I just can't create Windows image with git built-in).

Do you know of any solution?

Solution

Either move to Jenkins core higher then 1.549 or use this plugin.
