We were using Github plugin with Username and password credentials so far in our Jenkins setup.

However, after Aug 13th, this stopped working giving the error - stderr: remote: Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021. Please use a personal access token instead. remote: Please see https://github.blog/2020-12-15-token-authentication-requirements-for-git-operations/ for more information.

As per the answer provided by in How to use Github Personal Access Token in Jenkins

I modified the URL to be https://<access token>@github.com/<userName>/<organization>/<repository>.git

But this is not working.

Am I missing any steps here ?

Create your Private access token using below URL

https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token

After that In Jenkins Job under Source Code Management section, provide Git repository URL in the format https://access_Token_Number@github.com/<Your_Org>/yourRepoName.git

e.g if Repo name is abc,Organization is test and Token number is 12345678 then URL will be look like

https://12345678@github.com/test/abc.git

This is not about changing URL. Jenkins is clearly indicating that it needs a Personal Access Token(PAT) instead of a password for git authorization.

Please create a PAT using the below link: [https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token][1]

Then go to Jenkins -> Configure Job -> Source Code Management and Change the Repository URL as follow: https://access_Token_Number@github.com/<Your_Org>/yourRepoName.git

  • Access Token Number: Its a PAT that you will generate using above shared link

  • Organization Name: The global name under which your repositories exist

  • RepoName: Name of your repository for which Jenkins job is configured
