I m getting this message when I try to pull or to push my commits using IntelliJ :
"Failed to start Git process"
In the settings of my IntelliJ I linked the git binary folder as this : C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe and when I click on "Test" it says the following :
Git executed successfully Git version is 2.9.0
However when I use the command line (using a terminal) to pull aord push it works correctly!
I consulted several links on the web to resolve my issue but without success I consulted this one too : Failed to start Git process

I just faced the same error message. In my case the reason was that the IDE had been updated while it was open. The solution therefore was to simple restart the IDE.

For PhpStorm 2024.1.1 I enabled Remote Execution Agent plugin:
"An experimental remote-side application for launching processes and making tunnels to WSL, SSH, Docker, etc."
and this fixed my errors with Git on WSL2.

I just deleted two files from below location. It worked for me.
C:\Users\Your User name\AppData\Local\JetBrains\IdeaIC2020.1\tmp
intellij-git-askpass.bat
intellij-git-ssh.bat
After deleting these two files, go to Intellij--> File---> select "Invalidate Caches/ Restart" option---> click on "Invalidate and Restart"
After restarting Intellij, error will remove.

The simple ways is to try the following steps:
First run :
$ git config --global credential.helper store
Then simply Update your git version :
$git update-git-for-windows

Go to preferences => Version control => Git
Change the directory path for the executable to /usr/local/git/bin/git
.
Hit Test button to confirm.

Had a similar issue. In my case, IntelliJ logs(C:\Users\UserName\.IdeaIC2017.3\system\log) had the following info:
"C:\Users\UserName\.IdeaIC2017.3\system\tmp\intellij-git-askpass.bat (Access is denied)"
So, I went ahead and deleted the following two files(located at C:\Users\UserName\.IdeaIC2017.3\system\tmp) and the error went away:
intellij-git-askpass.bat
intellij-git-ssh.bat
Not really sure what the two files are responsible for, though.
