Bonobo Git Server - can’t do git clone from cmd - Visual studio 2015 can

Question

I am trying to set up continuous deployment on windows using Bonobo git server and Jenkins.

The Bonobo server is running fine on machine X. Form machine Y I can use my NuGets.git repository (on X) from Visual studio 2015 to do git clone, push, changes, sync…

But when I tried to set up Jenkins to do git clone using the Git Plugin it fails. So I thought I would try to make git clone from a command prompt on machine X - but it also failed (with the git that was included in the Bonobo server)

I tried the following commands

Gets the same error
git clone http://masterserver/Bonobo.Git.Server/NuGets.git
git clone http://admin@masterserver/Bonobo.Git.Server/NuGets.git
Cloning into 'NuGets'...
warning: templates not found /share/git-core/templates
fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'http'

git clone git://masterserver/Bonobo.Git.Server/NuGets.git
Cloning into 'NuGets'...
warning: templates not found /share/git-core/templates
fatal: unable to connect to masterserver:

git clone git://admin@masterserver/Bonobo.Git.Server/NuGets.git
Cloning into 'NuGets'...
warning: templates not found /share/git-core/templates
fatal: Unable to look up admin@masterserver (port 9418) (A non-recoverable error occurred during a database lookup. )

I am quite lost her - any help and hints are very welcome

Answer 1

Go to Repository -> Edit the repository you are trying to clone and then give the user either contributor or administrator rights.

Answer 2

Since Bonobo is hosted inside IIS it only supports HTTP/S protocols as listed in FAQ, therefore only your first attempt is valid.

As for the Unable to find remote helper for 'http' simple search yields the following answer.
