How to configure git in WebStorm

0
votes

I just installed WebStorm from JetBrains, and cloned my repo using SourceTree to disk. Then I opened the project in WebStorm and everything is working except the git in WebStorm.

In SourceTree everything is working fine, but in WebStorm I can't do anything, I can't pull, commit or whatever.

I'm receiving this popup: Can't start Git: git.exe. I know that probably I must set the good path to this file, but I don't know where it is.

enter image description here

Please could you give me an advice where should I find this file, or how to resolve this problem?

Remember that in SourceTree this repository is working.

You may have to install git from the link below, then use the 'Fix it' link if it's not found automatically.

You'll need to click on the "Fix it" option, and change the path to the git.exe file. As Windows is strange (personal opinion, not answer fact) this can be in a number of locations. From this github page it could be in one of the following locations:

Git - C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin
SmartGit - C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartGit\git\bin\git.exe
GitHub For Windows - C:\Users\'username'\AppData\Local\GitHub\PortableGit_'numbersandletters'\cmd\git.exe
