Re: Connecting Jenkins to GitHub

[Mark Waite]

If Jenkins is running under your user id and the GitHub repository URL is
using SSH and you're using command line git as the git implementation, then
command line git fallback to use your default ssh private key.  That's a
behavior of command line git more than a behavior of Jenkins.

If Jenkins is running under your user id and the GitHub repository https
repository credentials have been permanently stored with git credentials,
then command line git will use those credentials.

If Jenkins is running under another user id or the GitHub repository URL is
using https without stored credentials or you're using JGit, then a
credential will need to be provided.

It is usually best to provide those credentials and not rely on command
line git defaults.

Re: Connecting Jenkins to GitHub

[HB]

Thank you.  After installing the GitHub integration plugin and watching the 
video, I was able to create a project just as in the video.

My GitHub repository contains only the README.md file as well, however the 
difference is that my repo is private.  The item I create to my private 
repo on GitHub is not requiring that I add any credentials.  Despite not 
creating any credentials after clicking the git radio button under 'Source 
Code Management', I can just save the item successfully.  I can also click 
on the GitHub link within the project and it takes me right to the repo in 
GitHub.

Does this sound correct?  I feel like it should require defining 
credentials to successfully connect to GitHub.  Or is it that I am being 
successfully connected via the public key that I put in place on the GitHub 
side?  Or is it possibly a cookie that is allowing the connection?  Is that 
something I can verify some how?

Thanks,

HB

 All,

 I am completely new to Jenkins but am tasked with getting a working 
 environment up and running.

 Everything appears to running well as follows:

 RHEL 7.5
 Jenkins ver 2.148

 Installed using the below yum repo:
 [jenkins]
 name=Jenkins
 baseurl=http://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat
 gpgcheck=1

 I have it configured to use Active Directory for user authentication 
 and roles.

 My questions revolve around getting Jenkins connected to GitHub.  I am 
 following these steps:

 https://gist.github.com/misterbrownlee/3708738

 I have created a 'utility user' (say git-jenkins) in GitHub that will 
 ideally be the user that Jenkins uses to connect to GitHub.  I also have 
 created a key pair for the connection.  Since Jenkins runs as user 
 'jenkins' on the server, I created the key pair as this user and imported 
 the public key to the 'git-jenkins' utility user in GitHub.

 I also set:

 Global Config user.name Value
 Global Config user.email Value

 to the 'git-jenkins' GitHub utility user via: Manage Jenkins --> 
 Configure System.


 I am trying to follow these steps:

 - Make sure the Manage Jenkins > Configure System has the right path to 
 git
 - Set the global git user.name and user.email to match your global 
 config options
 - Configure GitHub Web Hook to Manually manage hook urls
 - Click the (?) icon next to the manual option and copy the hook URL 
 you see there
 - Optionally set the service account email as the Jenkins sender email 
 address

 However, I am not able to successfully 'test connection' to GitHub in 
 Manage Jenkins --> Configure System..

 I am able to clone the repository from the command line with a 
 different user than the 'git-jenkins' utility user via Jenkins.  But since 
 the 'jenkins' user on the server does not have a login shell out of the 
 box, I am unable to test from the command line.

 Can anyone point me in the right direction here as to what I might be 
 missing?  I hope I have not confused the situation too much.

 Thanks in advance,

 HB

Hi,

Search for a GitHub integration plugin.

Here is a YouTube video link you can refer -
