Intellij - 无法运行 Git

Question

I have noticed that on Version Control window, in tabs Log and Local changes there is no information. Only following error appears:

Error updating changes: Cannot identify version of git executable C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe

When I have clicked Test in Settings > Version Control > Git, entered above path in Path to Git executable following window appeared: Link

After typing in CMD command git --version I get output:

git version 2.17.0.windows.1

What is more after writing some code Intellij is not highlighting changes.

I don't have any idea why it is not working... Any ideas?

Answer 1

I am able to resolve the issue.

My GIT installation directory: C:\\installations\\Git\\

WHAT WORKED

If I point the Git executable path to (C:\\installations\\Git\\mingw64\\bin\\git.exe) it worked.

WHAT DIDN'T WORKED

Answer 2

For some reason, IntelliJ cannot get any output from the command line client. Something similar is reported - https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-82445

It might be caused by antivirus software or UAC.

Answer 3

For me, only invalidating caches and restarting intellij worked. :)

1. go to the terminal and type git --exec-path to get your git path.
2. then go to IntelliJ and configure it, Click browse and select your git path.
3. select git and hit test.

Note: on Mac Os, use / in finder to navigate easier.
