'Jenkins - Error fetching remote repo 'origin'
I'm trying to setup the Jenkins Github Pull-Request Builder on a Jenkins node slave, however when I set the refspec to +refs/pull/*:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*.
The build fails, saying that I couldn't fetch the repo, When the refspec removed, keeping everything else in place (Github pull request builder ticked and configured, branch specifier is set to ${sha1} defaulted to master using string parameter, the build is fine.
Here is the error trace:
git -c core.askpass=true fetch --tags --progress [email protected]:organization/repository.git
+refs/pull/*:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*
ERROR: Error fetching remote repo 'origin'

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In my case this happened because I switched from SVN to git. So I had an exisiting jenkins job with svn. In this job I just changed the source source-code-management to git. Due to this changing I had an exisiting workspace and by default in this scenario the git client just calls fetch and not as required git clone.
To fix it you have to set Additional Behaviours below source-code-management to Wipe out repository & force clone.

Reason I saw that was because jenkins disk was full for me.

Try:
clearing out the workspace files of the required job.
rebuilding.

In my case the workspace directory file permissions were insufficient. The jenkins user has to be the owner of the workspace directory. Having the permissions for the jenkins GROUP is not enough!
# jenkins is owner
sudo chown -R jenkins:jenkins /var/www/jenkins/workspace/
# add jenkins group
sudo chgrp -R jenkins /var/www/jenkins/workspace/
# add other groups that need access
sudo chgrp -R othergroup /var/www/jenkins/workspace/
# add full owner permissions + any other group permissions you need
sudo chmod -R 770 /var/www/jenkins/workspace/
