OS X - 无法启动 Git：/usr/bin/git 可能 Git 可执行文件的路径无效

Question

I get this error in Android Studio:

Can't start Git: /usr/bin/git Probably the path to Git executable is not valid.

It gives me an option to fix it, where it takes me to the area in Android Studio to set the path to git. I see it is set to

/usr/bin/git

And I check that path, and that path is indeed the path to the git executable. Why is Android Studio unable to start git?

EDIT: When I try to use git commands in the Android Studio terminal it says:

Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please re-run as root via sudo.

Answer 1

You should run sudo git --version on your command line. It will ask you to agree to the git xcode license agreement, once done everything will work as before.

Answer 2

升级到 MacOS Sierra 时，我必须运行： xcode-select --install

Answer 3

You should agree explicitly to user's licence agreement.

This is how you should do it:

1. Open terminal
2. run the following command: sudo xcodebuild -license
3. agree to the terms.

That's it! :)

Answer 4

I got this problem too, because I uninstalled my Xcode.

I solved it with these steps:

1. Type xcode-select --install in the terminal (Installs the license)

2. Download a git and re-install it

After this 2 steps, I can use git commands in the terminal like git or git --version .

But when I open the android studio, it still show the error

so we need another two steps:

3. Type which git in your terminal (find out the git path)

4. Configure the path (you got in the step 3) in your android studio , then apply

Just like below pic

It works for me.

Answer 5

use "which git" in terminal. It will provide you your git location. like "/usr/local/bin/git" paste this location in popup which came after clicking "Fix it". Then click apply.

Answer 6

在终端

sudo xcodebuild -license accept

Answer 7

In my situation I used "which git" in terminal. It will provide me my git location like "/usr/local/bin/git" instead of "/usr/bin/git" I pasted this location in popup which came after clicking "Fix it". Then clicked apply and it works.

Answer 8

I tried "/usr/local/bin/git" path and clicked "Test" button but was getting error.

so I clicked on three dots besides Test button and jumped to the given path but there was no git executable present. So at below path I found git exec:

/usr/local/git/bin/git

I hope it helps.

Answer 9

I met a same problem. Idea indicate that: Can't start Git: /user/bin/git... And I run "which git" on terminate and I found that my git stay on: /user/local/bin/git So what I need is change git's path on project setting. And it worked.

Answer 10

I had updated Xcode last night. I ran git as root via sudo in the terminal and then it said I have not agreed to the Xcode licence terms, and allowed me to view them and then agree in the terminal. I probably would have got the GUI version if I tried to open Xcode.

Answer 11

当我安装 MacOS Sierra 时，我运行了xcode-select --install并且运行良好

I had the same problem in PhpStorm. This came to me after updating XCode on OS X EL Capitan. After this update I didn't open it to accept the license that was necessary for XCode and OS X. When I had accept the license the problem was resolved.

Answer 15

I have this issue when having two Xcode (ver.7 and ver.8) apps installed in my Mac OS Sierra.

What I do is simply open the Xcode 8, go to Preferences , select Locations in tab, and set the Command Lines Tools to Xcode 8.0 .

Answer 16

1. Run sudo git --version

2. If already Xcode is installed : Run sudo softwareupdate -ia --verbose If not : xcode-select --install sudo xcodebuild -license

3. sudo xcode-select -switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

After this don't forget to re-start the system. It worked for me and for sure work you you as well.
