I have seen similar questions to this here and here but the URL structure doesn't seem to work for me and I'm getting a slightly different error. I feel like I am missing something easy here so what Repository URL would I use for a local OSX path, that does contain an active git repo, with a remote on Github. Note I do not want to use the Github remote as I'm testing build triggers when commits are done locally
Repository URL
file:///Users/<myname>/Documents/<myproject>
Error
Failed to connect to repository : Command "git -c core.askpass=true ls-remote -h file:///Users/<myname>/Documents/<myproject> HEAD" returned status code 128:
stdout:
stderr: fatal: '/Users/<myname>/Documents/<myproject>' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
12/10/15 Update
To elaborate on this a bit more, I see the GIT plugin instructions in Jenkins referencing valid URL's, ending in .git. In the directory in question, I do have the .git directory and have also attempted that structure (e.g. file:///Users/username/Documents/blog.git), but that also fails. I feel like I'm missing something but can't quite place it. Any help is appreciated.
