Setup git in Intellij terminal

I want to use git in Intellij Terminal but it does not recognize the command. In Command Prompt and Windows power shell the command in recognized (I added the git path in System Environment Variables). I am also aware that Intellij has an GUI integration with Git.

So, can anyone tell me how can I use the git command in the Intellij terminal.

In my case, the Git Bash through IntelliJ had TERM=xterm-256color. Regular Git Bash had TERM=xterm

To fix the garbled characters issue in IntelliJ Idea, Go to "File | Settings | Tools | Terminal"

Environment Variables:  TERM=cygwin

In IntelliJ Terminal, Shell Path I was using was already:

C:\Users\<userId>\programs\Git\bin\bash.exe --login -i

For me, it works also but only the path of Git Bash has changed in Windows :

"C:\Users\REPLACE_THIS_BY_YOUR_USER\AppData\Local\Programs\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i

In the IDEA settings make sure that your terminal path leads to "usr/bin" instead of "/bin".

IDEA terminal settings tab

As a result you will see pretty rich console output:

You don't need to reinstall anything. Go to:

  • File
  • Settings
  • Search for terminal
  • in shell path type: "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i (or another directory where you installed Git)

The full path is not needed anymore (windows), I just replaced cmd.exe to sh.exe and bingo was his name O

Settings > Tools > Terminal > Shell path > sh.exe

or

This worked for me:

IntelliJ: File->Settings->Version Control->Git:

On the right side, Path to Git executable:

"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe"
