you might work in environment/ company where internet and some of the connections are blocked.
In a scenario, where you would have no option rather than going through manual installation. It's really a hard stuff, but no choice. It's like when you trying to add a dependency to build environment and not allowed where you will end up in adding all the hierarchy of dependencies. Really a night mare and mostly you will hate wasting time for nothing.
Here i will add a few pieces where i would try to add "git" plugin manually.
If you use normal way, it will do it few seconds or minutes time depending on the speed of the internet, but manual installation will not take hours, but days to install a certain plugin.
Plugin : GIT

In
top right corner , you will see a button “How to Install “
Click
and go under 3rd option.
Advanced
installation
The Update Center only
allows the installation of the most recently released version of a plugin. In
cases where an older release of the plugin is desired, a Jenkins administrator
can download an older .hpi archive and manually install that on the
Jenkins controller.
Jenkins stores plugins
it has downloaded in the plugins directory with a .jpi suffix, whether
the plugins originally had a .jpi or an .hpi suffix.
If an administrator
manually copies a plugin archive into the plugins directory, it should be named with
a .jpi suffix to match
the file names used by plugins installed from the update center.
From
the web UI
Assuming a .hpi file has been
downloaded, a logged-in Jenkins administrator may upload the file from within
the web UI:
- Navigate to the Manage Jenkins > Plugins page
in the web UI.
- Click on the Advanced tab.
- Choose the .hpi file
from your system or enter a URL to the archive file under the Deploy
Plugin section.
- Deploy the
plugin file.
Once a plugin file has
been uploaded, the Jenkins controller must be manually restarted in order for
the changes to take effect.
Some
plugins could not be loaded due to unsatisfied dependencies. Fix these issues
and restart Jenkins to re-enable these plugins.
