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.

Create SCM Instance for Git and define URL, User and Password information. You can also validate connection when creating SCM Instance for Git.
At project level, select Git as SCM Type and provide details like Branch, Sparse Folders, Tag etc. which are defined as Groovy scripts.

Git Installation Steps

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.
