title: Jenkins URL for local GIT repository on Windows 10
body: <p>I'm "getting started" with Jenkins on Windows 10 and I've hit a wall with the URL for the repository.  I have a trivial HelloWorld at %HOMEPATH%\Documents\tmp\HelloWorld, which I can clone from the Windows 10 command prompt with "git clone".  Here's the transaction:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\daryl\tmp&gt;git clone %HOMEPATH%\Documents\tmp\HelloWorld
  Cloning into 'HelloWorld'...
  done.
  
  C:\Users\daryl\tmp&gt;dir
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and then I can see that the data is well and truly there.</p>
  
  <p>But when I put %HOMEPATH%\Documents\tmp\HelloWorld in the URL of the new Jenkins project, I get a an error when I look at the configuration along with an explanation that says</p>
  
  <pre><code>Specify the URL of this remote repository. This uses the same syntax as your git clone command. 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The actual error code makes it look like Jenkins insists on talking to a server.  I can respect that.  But I want to keep things local so I can work offline.  That leaves me with two questions:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Am I right in my conclusion, or is there a way to finesse Jenkins into accessing my local filesystem?</p></li>
  <li><p>What is a good lightweight Git server that runs on Windows 10?  (in case I have to do so)</p></li>
  </ol>
