git.path in user settings

[xied75]

I have portable git on my Windows 10. In VS Code you can set user settings for this section:

    //-------- Git configuration --------

    // Is git enabled
    "git.enabled": true,

    // Path to the git executable
    "git.path": null,

    // Whether auto fetching is enabled.
    "git.autofetch": true,

So I set "git.path": "c:\tools\git\bin" and restart, it still can't find git install.

Later I set System Env Path to include git, then it's happy; seems setting above doesn't really change anything?

Best,

Dong

git.path should contain the path to the git executable: git.exe. Not its parent directory.

@joaomoreno You are absolutely right. In case others got same misunderstanding, this should be:

// Path to the git executable
    "git.path": "c:\tools\git\bin\git.exe"
