Hi all,
It’s been a long time since I last posted a question here but I’m back! :D
Anyway, I’m currently trying some stuff with Jenkins and I’ve started creating a small project. I have an issue where I have 3 repositories (Jenkinsfile, script and some additional libraries) which I want to include in my pipeline.
I’m using SCM and my Jenkinsfile is in one of the repositories.
So far all my attempts have failed. Here is what I have:
node {
stage 'prepare'
checkout scm
and I am defining the Jenkinsfile repo in the job configuration.
So what I would like to do is check out all three repositories, then use the Jenkinsfile to use the rest.
Anyone has any suggestions?

Hi @brendRos,
I think in your case the RelativeTargetDirectory plugin of the GitSCM class should help. You can read more about it here:
Or here
When you open the Jenkins Documentation(above link) select - $class: ‘GitSCM’ and then inside you’ll be able to find $class: ‘RelativeTargetDirectory’
$class: 'RelativeTargetDirectory'
relativeTargetDir
Specify a local directory (relative to the workspace root) where the Git repository will be checked out. If left empty, the workspace root itself will be used.
Type: String
Here is an example of how to use it
stages {
stage('GitCheckout') {
steps {
checkout \
scm: [ $class : 'GitSCM', branches: [[name: '*/master']], extensions: [[$class: 'RelativeTargetDirectory', relativeTargetDir: 'subdirectory2']], submoduleCfg: [], userRemoteConfigs: [[url: 'repo2.git']]])]
}
}
}
Please remember to change the relativeTargetDir - subdirectory2 in this case to the one you want.
Additionally, in userRemoteConfigs: [[url: ‘repo2.git’]]] add your actual git repo.

Hi @brendRos,
I’m starting a new thread/answer just because the previous one became too long and it might be confusing to read afterwards.
I’m going to try and answer to both question in a single code block. The code block will include both a better readable syntax and how to post multiple Git Repositories to be checked out:
stages {
stage('GitCheckout') {
steps {
checkout \
scm: [ $class : 'GitSCM', \
branches: [[name: '*/master']], \
extensions: [[$class: 'RelativeTargetDirectory', relativeTargetDir: 'subdirectory1']],
[ $class: 'ScmName', name: 'subdirectory1' ]], \
userRemoteConfigs: [[ \
url: 'repo1.git' \
]]
]
]
checkout \
scm: [ $class : 'GitSCM', \
branches: [[name: '*/master']], \
extensions: [[$class: 'RelativeTargetDirectory', relativeTargetDir: 'subdirectory2']],
[ $class: 'ScmName', name: 'subdirectory2' ]], \
userRemoteConfigs: [[ \
url: 'repo1.git' \
]]
]
]
}
}
}
