I have the following scenario.

I tried a simple pipeline job that clones my remote repo. It works fine when i set it to execute on master.

node {
   //stage 'Checkout'
     git([url: 'ssh://someusername@gerrit.mycompany.domain:29418/bla/bla.git', branch: 'mybranch'])
}

It uses the default git installation to run the command. I have configured git on a different pat for slave in jenkins configuration. when i try to run the same pipeline on a slave, it fails because it always tries to go the default git installation. 

node ('myagent1'){
   //stage 'Checkout'
     git([url: 'ssh://someusername@gerrit.mycompany.domain:29418/bla/bla.git', branch: 'mybranch'])
}

The error is obvious:

Caused by: hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Error performing command: /jenkins-master-some-path/bin/git init /home/user/workspace/pipeline

/jenkins-master-some-path/bin/git is correct for master.

For normal jobs, we can choose one installation but can someone tell me if there is a way to use different git installation for pipeline on a slave.

Ohhh I found a way. Instead of using git command, i used this "checkout" module. From pipeline job configuration, if you click on "pipeline Syntax", it takes you to another page. There you can generate groovy just by using the GUI.

Another solution, that will work with all the tools, is to configure specific tools installations path for your specific agent node.

Go to :

Jenkins > Manage Nodes > myagent1 > nodes properties > tools

... and then select the tool that cannot be found on your agent (e.g. Git executable) and just fill there your executable path.
