Jenkins-github repository error (windows)

Question

I am using github with jenkins. I was able to successfully clone the github repository but when I add the URL of repository in Jenkins, I am getting following error:

Failed to connect to repository : Error performing command: C:UsersusernameDocumentsGitHub ls-remote -h git@github.com:username/game-of-life.git HEAD

The URL is: git@github.com:username/game-of-life.git

I have added the path of github in jenkins main configuration, which is:

C:UsersusernameDocumentsGitHub

I have tried other solutions such as generating ssh keys for github and jenkins.

Any idea about this error? Thanks.

In Jenkins system configuration, add the path of git.exe file. In my case, git.exe in

C:UsersusernameAppDataLocalGitHubPortableGit_some#ingit.exe

did not work but "gitk.cmd" in ...cmdgitk.cmd worked fine.
