The FlexDeploy Git plugin makes it easy to interact with source code stored in a Git repository. This plugin requires a Git client to be stored on the FlexDeploy server and any endpoints which will execute Git plugin operations. FlexDeploy allows users to configure Git repository connection details to be shared by various projects and other configurations at a project level. This allows workflows to perform clone and tag operations within a workflow.

Git 1.7.9 or higher is needed for FlexDeploy, but yum installs lower version. In order to install newer version, we need to get source and build it for install. Here is reference - https://tecadmin.net/install-git-2-0-on-centos-rhel-fedora/.
Run these steps as root. You can download newer version as well than 2.7.1.
On some other instances including some Oracle Cloud instances, it may be necessary to either change lines 7+8 by removing the /local or by adding symlinks in /usr. The git executable must be on the path without running the .bash_profile or any other scripts because FlexDeploy won't run those scripts when SSHing to the endpoint. |
