Jenkins Beginner Tutorial 9 - How to add GitHub Credentials

UPDATE**** - While connecting/pushing to github from any external platform/tool, you will NOW need to provide ACCESS TOKEN in place of password
To generate Access Token
1. Login to your GitHub account
2. Verify your email address, if it hasn't been verified yet.
3. In the upper-right corner of any page, click your profile photo, then click Settings.
4. In the left sidebar, click Developer settings.
5. In the left sidebar, click Personal access tokens.
6. Click Generate new token.
7. Give your token a descriptive name.
8. To give your token an expiration, select the Expiration drop-down menu, then click a default or use the calendar picker
9. Select the scopes, or permissions, you'd like to grant this token. To use your token to access repositories from the command line, select repo.
10. Click Generate token

HY! Sir i face a problem when i create folder and add the location of that folder i have created into the custom workspace and when i build everything is running fine but nothing could be added into that folder it is empty

[Mangesh-t]

If the github repo is private then only we need to add github credentials. If it is public repo, no need to add credentials, is my understanding correct?

stderr: remote: Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021. Please use a personal access token instead.

[hemanthgowda]

Failed to connect to repository : Error performing git command: git.exe ls-remote -h

[deviprasadmoharana]

Hi Raghav. Whenever I am storing a password which is having a special character(ex:avc$123) in the Jenkin credential plugin and running the job, the job is getting failed with "123 is not a command in .sh file". How to overcome this issue?

[adusumalliprathyusha]

Hi Raghav.I want to disregard the Pull Request from triggering the pipeline.how can I do this.pls help me with this asap

[starSha]

Thanks, I successfully integrated with git. But my doubt is that I didn't give any login credential of GitHub in Jenkins. How Jenkins can access my git account without giving login credential? Is it an expected behaviour or security violation?
