Configure Jenkins shared library in Git using SSH keys

In this article I would like to share my experience configuring a Jenkins shared library in a Git repository. As I am using Windows sever, I used puttygen to generate the SSH keys.

Create SSH keys using PuTTYgen

• Download PuTTYgen

• Install it and open. Click Generate button

• Move the cursor randomly

• Save private key (The other button for saving private key saves it in different format. So use the method shown in the below image)

• Save public key

Add Public key to Git server

• Add key Public key to git (here I am using Bitbucket)

• Copy the Repo SSH URL

Configure Jenkins with Private key

• Create Jenkins credential

• Add username and Private key

• Configure shared library with git SCM with the copied URL and credential we have just created
