Git is not ready!

[JacksonNiu616]

my git can work in other app, How can i get it ready for obsidian?
thanks!

There should be a notification when starting Obsidian, which gives you more details why it's not ready.

I am having the same issue, even though the vault opened is cloned from my repo. This is what it shows me when I start Obsidian -

[Vinzent03]

@driftywinds Can you verify in you file viewer or terminal that a .git directory exists at the root of you obsidian vault? And try clearing the base path setting.

yes there is a .git directory at the root of my vault and the base path setting is cleared. It still gives me the same error

[mathewlowry]

Same problem. There was no notification when starting Obsidian. There is a .git directory.
What does "clearing the base path setting" refer to?

[Vinzent03]

@mathewlowry There is a base path setting, which may cause this issue. Is there any error in the console? (CTRL + SHIFT + I)

+1 working well on a machine but "git is not ready" on another one with the same remote repo. No visible error in the console.

Hi, The instructions I was following were to install GitHub Desktop, but that turned out to be a mistake. I installed Git, messed about for a while with the guys behind massive.wiki, and got it working. Not exactly a simple install process, tho - will document it at some point, but for now hope this helps.

I found an error message :

@AlainRo See #67

[AlainRo]

Problem solved after : xcode-select --install
👍
Thank you for this plugin

When I start Obsidian, I got a notification "Cannot run git command".
Similarly, the console of "Ctrl + Shift + I" report the same error
( I use Win11 OS, and my git support the "3rd-party command" )

[Vinzent03]

@CupidTian That's strange, maybe git is installed in an unusual location that's not in the PATH env var of Obsidian?

@Vinzent03 I have the same issue.

@CupidTian That's strange, maybe git is installed in an unusual location that's not in the PATH env var of Obsidian?

I added /usr/bin/git (the standard path for git) explicitly but it didn't help.

I use Ubuntu 22.04.1.

[Vinzent03]

@marcluque how did you install Obsidian?

[lemonway64]

https://git-scm.com/

[oneegin]

I use GitHubDesktop and windows 10, I put the whole path in the Git binary path
c:\Users....your_name.....\AppData\Local\GitHubDesktop\app-3.1.2\resources\app\git\cmd\git.exe

[talismangit]

My obsidian says "Git is not ready. When all setting are correct you can configure auto backup, etc.
I dont get any notificatons and I have everything set-up like in the tutorial by Danny Talks Tech. Is there something I need to turn on or check to find where I made a mistake?

[Vinzent03]

@talismangit Is there any error in the console (CTRL + SHIFT + I)? You should get a notification what exactly is wrong.

[Chang-Hoon]

I had the same issue and tried all siad on #405 and reisntall/update git, and downgrade obsidian-git but ALL didn't work.

It just backed to work when my Windows 10 laptop rebooted.

[bsridatta]

Having the same issue on startup it says cannot run git command while I have it in the standard location /usr/bin/git

[Harvey-myc]

windows 10, I put the whole path in the Git binary path

I only works with this path : C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe. just for note

[jubiiz]

I had the same issue. I'm on Win 10 Pro.
I fixed it by adding Git to my PATH environment variable (it had gotten removed somehow).

[luckyops]

I just solved this problem. I found that I configured the address in the ‘Custom Git binary path ’ of obsidian git. Just delete this.
