Hi @ArneDBKey2info,

which Git version, from where and how did you install it?

• What can you see when using command git --version from website directory? Does this work?
• It seems to me that Git is missing from your system PATH?

I’m running XAMPP, so I’m not really sure how to check which git version is running on XAMPP I just went to the git website, downloaded the latest version.

You can check your Git version directly from Terminal. Did you install Git from official site? Did you follow instructions?

Hi @pavelevap,

I am having this same problem.

I installed git from here https://gitforwindows.org/ and am able to see git --version from the command line (2.18.0). However, WordPress does not find git. How do I check if git is on my system PATH?

WordPress does recognize git on my staging server but the issue occurs when I use VersionPress to create a local copy.

Thanks, Harrison

Edit: This issue was resolved after restarting the DesktopServer website. Git was initially installed while the website was open.
