3 things that come to mind: 1 - Based on the path names in the log it seems you are on windows. Maybe the instructions on http://help.github.com/win-set-up-git/ are more helpful to you?
2 - You are probably using Windows XP. I have heard the Jenkins Windows installer is buggy on Windows XP in such a way that it sets up Jenkins to use %PROGRAMFILES%\Jenkins as the JENKINS_HOME directory. You should try to set JENKINS_HOME environment variable for the Jenkins service and point it to some directory that is writable by the account Jenkins is running as. Or ignore the Windows installer, download jenkins.war and run it in a Command Prompt window using "java -jar jenkins.war" 3 - Check that git works outside of Jenkins. -- Sami 2012/2/28 s s <sssawa...@gmail.com>: > I am receiving following error while integration Jenkins with Github. > I have following all steps mentioned in http://help.github.com/mac-set-up-git/ > and stillreceving this error.
