Pycharm 终端指向错误的 git 可执行文件 (MacOS)

Question

I'm trying to use git in the Pycharm terminal, but when I type which git , I get /usr/bin/git , and when I try running git I get an error (including a stack trace):

git: error: unable to find utility "git", not a developer tool or in PATH

However, in a normal Mac terminal, if I type which git , I get /usr/local/bin/git , and this executable runs correctly.

How can I get the Pycharm terminal to point to the correct git? I tried updating the $PATH and changing the path to the git executable in the Pycharm preferences (and restarting Pycharm after doing this) but none of these worked.

The issue might be because you are missing to add the file extension of executable.

Change your shell path in PyCharm terminal settings. Settings are located at:

Settings > Tools > Terminal > Application settings > shell path

In MacOs find out corresponding shell or bash executable path. It should be in /usr/local/bin/<executable(git or bash or sh) with its extension>

For windows, extension is .exe :

C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\sh.exe or C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe

Reference :

PS This terminal setting is specific to a project, and you might need to change the settings for every new project.
