[taskdef] Could not load definitions from resource com/rimerosolutions/ant/git/jgit-ant-lib.xml. It could not be found.

I don't know if this issue tracker is still active, but I'm getting the error from the title. This is my config

<project name="Test" default="init" basedir="."

I had this issue too. It turns out you need the git settings:

<git:settings refId="git.testing"
  username="xxxtesting"
  password="xxxtesting"
  name="xxxtesting"
  email="[email protected]"/>

as well as the settingsref applied to the opening git tag:

<git:git directory="${mydir}" settingsref="${git.testing}">
  <!-- git tasks here... -->
</git:git>

[trutia]

I have this issue too. Same error

This is what my build.xml looks like

Also how do I exactly use this plugin ?

@trutia Can you post a link to your repo?
