I didn't know but there is an easy way to give username and password. I explicitly gave username and password separated by a colon before @ in the url.

https://username:password@bitbucket.org/username/my_jenkins.git

Please refer to below code:

<scm class="hudson.plugins.git.GitSCM" plugin="[email protected]">
<configVersion>2</configVersion>
<userRemoteConfigs>
  <hudson.plugins.git.UserRemoteConfig>
    <url>https://username:[email protected]/username/my_jenkins.git</url>
  </hudson.plugins.git.UserRemoteConfig>
</userRemoteConfigs>

Jenkins uses encryption for the password it stores so you'll need to encrypt your password. Because you didn't specify your Jenkins Master version or which Git SCM plugin version you're using, the safest way to see the format of the configuration is to do as suggested in your question's comments and create a dummy job that uses Git, and see how to create that section inthe job.

Good luck!
