Visual Studio Code cannot detect installed git

Question

Visual Studio Code reports \"It look like git is not installed on your system.\" when I try to switch to the git view. I know I have git installed and used by other git clie

Answer 1

First check if Git* installed or not in your system

by typing the command in cmd /command prompt (In windows)

where git

if you get an output like this

λ where git
C:\cmder\vendor\git-for-windows\cmd\git.exe

Then Go to Settings > Preferences > Settings and put the bellow code** right part.

 {
    // If git enabled ?
    "git.enabled": true,

    // Path to the git executable
    "git.path": "C:\\cmder\\vendor\\git-for-windows\\cmd\\git.exe"
}

• If you don't have Git installed , Install git from here https://git-scm.com/

** Just add double slash (\\) just like the above code.
