Git Publisher "target remote name" validation problems, single repo

Question

I am trying to use the Git Publisher plugin to tag a successful build with the $BUILD_TAG, but I cannot figure out a value for the Target remote name that it will accept. If I use the Repository URL in the GIT configuration I'm told, No remote repository configured with the name . I tried naming the configuration and using that as the Target remote name, no luck.

My SCM configuration (company name elided):

Repository URL: http://stash.company.com/scm/semsrch/medqp.git
Credentials: sebuserro/****** [This is configured by our build team]
Name: experiment
Branch Specifier: origin/experiment

My Git Publisher configuration:

Push Only If Build Succeeds: checked
Tag to push: $BUILD_TAG
Tag message: $BUILD_URL
Create new tag: checked
Target remote name: http://stash.company.com/scm/semsrch/medqp.git

There is something about Git that I'm missing here.

Thank you in advance for your help.

FYI there is one confusing thing - if you just edited git config without saving job configuration, the publisher plug-in may show that remote with such name does not exist while it has just been configured in. (I mean accepted answer is correct, just adding how I've been confused) — akostadinov, Oct 29 '15 at 16:36

If your branch name is experiment and remote name is origin, change your SCM and Git Publisher configuration to:

SCM configuration:

Name: "origin"
Branch Specifier: "*/experiment"

Git Publisher configuration:

Target remote name: "origin"

The important thing, is to set the same name for Name parameter in SCM and Target remote name in Git Publisher.

I know it's a bit too late for answer, but maybe someone will find it useful.

Target remote name: will be "origin"

You can execute shell and generate custom tag and pass the same to git publisher.

That won't work if you're using `Multiple SCMs` option, only a solitary `Git` option. – kayleeFrye_onDeck Dec 07 '18 at 20:09
