There are several steps that can be taken when Jenkins fails to establish a connection with Git repository:
- Verify that the Git repository URL is correct and reachable.
- Ensure that the Jenkins server has the appropriate credentials and permissions to access the Git repository.
- Check the Git plugin installed in Jenkins and verify that it is up to date.
- Check the network connection on the Jenkins server and ensure that it can access the Git repository.
- Restart Jenkins and try again.
- Try cloning the Git repository manually in the Jenkins server to ensure that there are no issues with the Git repository or the server.
- Check the Jenkins log files for more information on the connection error and try to fix the issue accordingly.
