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?

  • I think this happens because it is a newly created repository and no commits have been done till now. After committing this error may solve. – Tony Davis Feb 26 '14 at 05:16

    The link posted by Abhishek has nothing to do with the question. It's about a completely unrelated problem. – shawn1874 Sep 17 '18 at 15:56

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).

Please check the name of your branch to see if it is called main or master.

  1. If the branch is called main, set the branches to build to */main. (By default, GitHub names the default branch main in any new repository).

  2. If the branch is called master, set the branches to build to */master.
