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
  • @TonyDavis I have a repo with commits still I am getting this error! any help is appreciated – Ashish Karpe Apr 12 '21 at 06:06

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).
