scm-sync-configuration-plugin | Jenkins scm-sync-configuration plugin | Configuration Management library

Jenkins version: 1.642.3

SCM Sync Configuration Plugin version: 0.0.10

I created a private repository for storing Jenkins job's configuration (which is the git url that I'll use in Jenkins's Global configuration page while configuring this plugin). As I created a private repo (which is not open to anyone), I had to add any collaborators (jenkins service user which is running Jenkins master process on the Jenkins master server). If in your case, it's different, look for user name user.name under Manage Jenkins > System Information for the user which is running Jenkins process otherwise, you'll get an error that OS user doesn't have access to the repository or permission denied (Public Key). One other solution is to generate ssh key (ssh-keygen -t rsa and once the Key files are generated, putting the .pub public key in your Github user's SSH settings section: https://git.instance.yourcomany.com/settings/ssh).

One Important Note: While configuring the logger, if you accidentally pick hudson.plugins.scm_sync_configuration.ScmSyncConfigurationPlugin as it shows up in the list of available options (vs using the correct value which is hudson.plugins.scm_sync_configuration) then logger will NOT log anything. The above setting will make this plugin not log anything in the logger, so make sure you set the logger to the correct value.

AFTER this, everything is looking good so far in Jenkins main Global configuration page for configuring this plugin (no errors there) and at the right bottom of Jenkins home page, I can see "SCM Sync status : Last operation @ Tue Jul 25 11:55:43 PDT 2017"

I created a dummy job (and did echo something && sleep 60 in the build step) and tried to make few changes to this build step for changing the sleep time to some random values.

My expection was I should have been prompted for making any changes to the Jenkins job and that Jenkins job should be checked-in in the given GIT repo (as now the pub key for jenkins user is all set). PS: I'm succesfully able to clone from this repo in another test jenkins job (running on master node) + I'm also able to successfully git clone + git push to this repo from Jenkins master server (just added README.md myself as jenkins user). In the logger's log, I can see:
