Purpose

When no native Git binary has been installed and configured for use by Bamboo, source code checkout performance can be sub-par as Bamboo will revert to a Java based Git implementation which has significant overheads and competes for resources within the Java Virtual Machine.

Solution

  1. Install a native Git binary on both the Bamboo Server and any Remote Agents: Installing Git
  2. Configure the Git Capability on the Bamboo Server and any Remote Agents: Configuring capabilities

    1. E.g. To configure a Git capability on the Bamboo Server: Visit Bamboo Administration >> Server Capabilities and add the Git capability:

      Capability type = Git
Executable = Git
Path = C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\git.exe
