I am running a simple configuration, but can't get the "Git Publisher" post build step, to push anything to the origin repository. Configuration details:

SCM:

• Repository: ssh://server:port/repository.git
• Credentials: SSH
• Name: origin
• Branches to build: */master
• Additional Behaviours:
  • Wipe out repository & force clone
  • Check out to specific local branch
    • Branch name: master

Git can't be installed natively to the server, so I am using jgit.sh and run a execute shell command after editing the workspace:

$JENKINS_HOME/tools/jgit.sh commit -a -m "Build by Jenkins"

Post-build Actions

• Git publisher
  • Merge Results: Yes
  • Branches
    • Branch to push: master
    • Target remote name: origin

The build executes sucessfully. Here is the log:

Anyways, nothing is pushed to the repo... I don't have any clue, I have tried to many things. If I download the workspace afterwards, and check git show-ref there are two:

38217f6cbb454bb6c6001d548cab378704879651 refs/heads/master
f28401201c1f83952a513154bc8bcab8b4dc7853 refs/remotes/origin/master

Why wasn't the refs/heads/master pushed? Could you please assist?

Thanks & regards,
