While building a git project from jenkins it shows an error like couldn't find any revision to build

Question

While trying to build a git project through jenkins it gives an error 'ERROR: Couldn't find any revision to build. Verify the repository and branch configuration for this job. Finished: FAILURE' What does this error means and what should I do to remove it?

Solution 1

I confirm: an empty repo has no HEAD, and no branch. I mention this in "Why do I need to explicitly push a new branch?"

That means Jenkins, once the repo is cloned won't be able to checkout a branch (since there is none yet).

Solution 2

Please check your branch where repositories hosted either main or Master.

if repositories hosted in main,then Branches to build to */main .

if repositories hosted in master,then Branches to build to */master
