Hi We are moving from Subversion to Git and I am trying to update our Jenkins jobs to run from Git
I have a done a lot of searching and there are quite a few tips out there (https://jenkins.io/files/2016/jenkins-world/large-git-repos.pdf in particular) I am running into a few issues on which I seem to be going around in circles without resolution. I am running on windows 1) I am a little confused by the reference repository. Can I create a local copy of my git and then just use that as a reference repo. I did try this but it doesn't seem to be picking up that repo, and I am wondering if I am missing the point or just not configuring it correctly. Does anybody have a dummies guide on how to use this? 2) On our subversion jobs we used a parameter plugin to allow the user to select a check in to drive a build. I did get this working on a small test Git repo, but with the size of the our real Git repo (7Gb+) I am forever timing out. I have hoped that perhaps a reference repo might help in some way but that also might be a pipe dream. 3) I am hoping to use the parameter plugin to show available tags on a different job (we tag after a successful deploy to DEV which then becomes a candidate build). Based on 2 I am not sure that is going to work Thanks Glen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
