Manage SSH keys for Git in web GUI

XMLWordPrintable

      Right now I have to manage SSH keys on the filesystem in order to use the Git plugin. If I could manage (add/delete/edit) the SSH keys in the web GUI, it would make the Git hookup process much simpler and intuitive. In my experience this is the number one hurdle for new Jenkins users as they try to connect to a GitHub repo.

          Heartily agree. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the git plugin to use the keys I've assigned to Jenkins.

          https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/SSH+Credentials+Plugin could be use to let user manage ssh keys.

          Does https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/SSH+Agent+Plugin get you anywhere?

          Unfortunately the ssh agent plugin happens after scm checkout. I tried to mod the plugin to do it before, but the scm step does not take an environment. I am not experienced with Jenkins plugin dev and gave up at that point.
