Unable to connect to local Git repository



  • I'm unable to get BuildMaster configured to see my Git repository. The page I see when I try to 'create new git source control provider' doesn't seem to look exactly like the one here: http://inedo.com/support/kb/1028/integrating-buildmaster-and-git. Namely, the only option is to put in a remote repository URL. Since my repository is local to the server I'm running BuildMaster on, I'd like to just use a file URI to point to it. But I've tried every combination I can think of and only get errors when I test the connection. Hopefully I'm just missing something obvious. Thanks.

    Product: BuildMaster
    Version: 4.1.3



  • I appear to have found the answer. On a windows server you need to set up a network share with the git repository you want to share. Then, on the BuildMaster provider page, set the remote URL to file:////YourServer/path/to/git

    This will allow you to create a git provider that's on the same network as your BuildMaster server without SSH or git protocol.
