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

For Linux based OS. I had such an issue due to a corrupted path but was able to temporarily fix the issue and my git was immediately restored.

In case you're facing such path issue type the command below

export PATH="/usr/bin:/bin:$PATH"
