Making Teamcity clone a git repository

Question

Hi,

I have a build process that relies on git-describe so I want TeamCity to clone the repository instead of only putting the source without git into the /work folder.

I'm using the JetBrains Git plugin, is there another plugin that does that or should I just write another script that does a git clone before doing a build?

Thanks!

Answer 1

There is pre-Jetbrains plugin, which supports checkout on agent: http://www.knowledgetree.com/blog/continuous-integration-with-teamcity-git

Answer 2

TeamCity 5.1.1 and up supports this with its default git plugin (info)
