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

I faced this problem on MacOS High Sierra 10.13.5 after upgrading Xcode.

When I run git command, I received below message:

Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please run “sudo xcodebuild -license” and then retry this command.

After running sudo xcodebuild -license command, below message appears:

You have not agreed to the Xcode license agreements. You must agree to both license agreements below in order to use Xcode.

Hit the Enter key to view the license agreements at '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/License.rtf'

Typing Enter key to open license agreements and typing space key to review details of it, until below message appears:

By typing 'agree' you are agreeing to the terms of the software license agreements. Type 'print' to print them or anything else to cancel, [agree, print, cancel]

The final step is simply typing agree to sign with the license agreement.

After typing git command, we can check that VSCode detected git again.
