Add some handy aliases to control Jenkins to your .bash_profile
alias jenkins_off='sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist'

alias jenkins_on='sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist'

Jenkins uses a user named "jenkins" and on the Mac the jenkins home dir is /Users/Shared/Jenkins/Home.

Log in as jenkins from the command line

$ sudo su jenkins -

(no password required)

Setup the jenkins password

sudo passwd jenkins

There are other ways to set up Jenkins and git access but this is the easiest way I have found to do so. 

Create new ssh key that you will use to access git to /Users/Shared/Jenkins/.ssh
ssh-keygen
(DO NOT ADD A PASSWORD TO THE KEY)

Copy the public key to github in your profile


In the following Jenkins page create a new credential with your git username, the path to the ssh file in Jenkins, and NO password

• Jenkins
• Credentials        Global Credentials

Now make a new project or go to an existing project
Jenkins > > configuration

Source Code Management
None
CVS
CVS Projectset
Git Now copy the path to your git project to the url box and select the credential you made above in the pulldown menu. Jenkins will auto check if the git repo can be accessed. If it fails you can check the access from the command line with the following command which is what you will see in the error message.

Check if git can access the repo

git -c core.askpass=true ls-remote -h HEAD

(returns nothing on success)

configure Jenkins to send email

From: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255

Below are the updated gmail SMTP server configuration : Gmail SMTP server address: smtp.gmail.com Gmail SMTP user name: Your full Gmail address (e.g. example@gmail.com) Gmail SMTP password: Your Gmail password Gmail SMTP port: 465 Gmail SMTP TLS/SSL required: yes This configuration is working fine for me .

The above configuration didn't work becase of added security measures by google. An additional configuration is required in the Gmail account from which the mail is being triggered. This step authorizes apps like Jenkins to use the Gmail account.

After this emails were triggered successfully
