Question

Recently I am trying to connect git hub repository to android studio but it shows following the error:

Answer 1

I know this might sound stupid but yes, it is as stupid as it is!

I had this same error on Linux and was searching for a solution for two days! Then one day was trying to solve this, by chance, I cleared the path specified in android studio and Voilà! Android studio auto detected my git (facepalm)! And the interesting thing is it was not the path I was pointing to (bin/usr/git), and not the path returned by which git command (same path), it was /app/bin/git

For intellij idea and other products of JetBrains is quite the same issue, but the path detected by the two is different! Intellij idea was pointiong to /usr/bin/git!

For people still having this error even if their git is installed and android studio is pointing to its path, go to Settings -> Version Control -> Git and delete everything inside the text box with the label Path to Git executable, your android studio or what ever JetBrains product you're using, will auto-detect it.
