Insert git credentials into Jenkins Pipeline Script projects

jenkins-pipeline-git-cred.md

Suppose you want to inject a credential into a Pipeline script. The cloudbees note does not include Pipeline script examples. https://support.cloudbees.com/hc/en-us/articles/203802500-Injecting-Secrets-into-Jenkins-Build-Jobs

The Jenkins Pipeline Docs' description of the git pushmethod doesn't have an example using injected credentials. (https://jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/examples/#push-git-repo)

The Snippet generator is helpful, but not not if you try to follow the instructions at: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Credentials+Binding+Plugin

If you have associated a credential with your Git repo, use the Snippet Generator to select the plain Git option and it will return a snippet with this gem.

stage('Checkout') {
       git branch: 'lts-1.532', credentialsId: '82aa2d26-ef4b-4a6a-a05f-2e1090b9ce17', url: '[email protected]:jenkinsci/maven-plugin.git'
   }

Note that the credentialsID is a cryptic string and not at all like the display name I originally expected.

You have NO idea how much this helped me! Spent 2 days figuring out keys and credentials! Thanks a lot!!

Thank you so much. With this tip I needed just 10 min. to set up. Thanks

is credentialid some kind of private or security credentials
which should not be publically available for everyone

I don't remember... I think that string is some kind of identifier that makes sense to the Jenkins server.

how i can find my credentialsId of my repository !

This will only clone the repository in your pipeline. It does not works for scenarios where you need to auto commit.

Thanks this helped me to set it up in few mins!

thank you ( 🥇

Thank you! This was pretty useful :)
