IntelliJ - Git is not installed: Cannot identify version of git executable: no response

I'm using IntelliJ on my MacBook and get this message every time I open the app. I already checked the Preferences > Version Control > Git under "Path to Git executable" and set this path to the path that is shown in my terminal for whereis git. Also, testing the path in the IntelliJ settings returns a "Git version is 2.30.1". What else can I do to fix this problem?

I faced the same issue when switching my terminal profile from "Basic" to "Homebrew," but everything worked fine after reverting back.

Restarting Pycharm fixed this problem: I did not need to Invalidate Caches or fix the git executable path.

All of the methods above are not working for me.

First of all, I Invalidate Caches -> Invalidate and Restart. Secondly, I have to run the git command manually. Then it seems trigger something internally to find git path, I guess. Afterwards it is working.

Just update/install git with following command:

brew install git

Go to Intellij IDEA (Top left corner) -> Preference -> Version control -> Git -> Enter "/usr/local/bin/git" (generally git is installed in this path to verify it once, you can enter the same in finder) for "Path to git executable"

Boom!! Your Git is back.

Cheers!! :)

In my case, I fixed this issue by going to Preferences > Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle and update Gradle JDK from 1.8 to 11

For people using windows with wsl2, IntelliJ might automatically detect the correct file, but sometimes is not able to access. Restarting wsl and IntelliJ helped for me:

  1. Restart wsl
  • Open cmd as admin
  • run "wsl.exe --shutdown"
  • run "wsl.exe"
  1. Restart intelliJ

Open Preferences > Git > version control > git > Path to Git executables : set to

/usr/local/bin/git

or

/usr/bin/git

In my case, the IDE seems only be able to recognize the path of git as /usr/local/bin/git, but git is installed at /usr/bin/git. So I made a softlink between of them.

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/git /usr/local/bin/git

In my case the issue was solved by invalidating cache and restarting IDE. Simply go to Files -> Invalidate Caches -> Invalidate and Restart.
