Select "Manage Plugins" from the dropdown.
Navigate to the "Available" tab.
Search for "Git" in the filter box.
Check the box next to "Git Plugin".
Click on the "Install without restart" button.

Go back to the Jenkins dashboard.
Click on "Manage Jenkins" in the left-hand side menu.
Select "Global Tool Configuration" from the dropdown.
Scroll down to the "Git" section.
Click on "Git installations...".
Click on the "Add Git" button.
Provide a name for the Git installation (e.g., "Default Git").
Specify the path to the Git executable (e.g., "git").
Click on the "Save" button.
Create a new Jenkins job:
On the Jenkins dashboard, click on "New Item" on the left-hand side.
Enter a name for your job and select "Freestyle project".
Click "OK" to proceed.
Configure the job:
Source Code Management: In the job configuration page, under the "Source Code Management" section, select "Git".
Repository URL: Enter the URL of your Git repository.
Credentials: If your repository requires authentication, click on the "Add" button to add your Git credentials.
Branches to build: Specify the branch you want Jenkins to build (e.g.,
*/master).Additional Git options: Add any additional Git options, such as submodules or shallow clone settings.
Save the job configuration.
