No Git Executable Was Found

Question

Hey hey,

Whenever I add a package now from a git repo I receive the same error:

Project has invalid dependencies
Not 'git' executable was found. Please install Git on your system and restart Unity.

Git has been installed on the machine for a long, long time, but I reinstalled just to be certain I didn't miss anything and to make sure the cmd was added to the system PATH variable.
Tried with github (public repo) and bitbucket.

Still no luck.

Anyone have ideas on this?

I would appreciate it!

Thanks,
(Using 2019.1.7)

So, the problem was all about Git and PATH environment variable. Here is a good StackOverflow answer which gives more details on Git PATH on Windows: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26620312/installing-git-in-path-with-github-client-for-windows/34767523#34767523

Former comment

A few ideas:

Try to run Unity with Administrator privileges (if this work, your user PATH is messed up, or you have wrong user permissions)
Do you run Windows 10 or a former version ?
Do you run a NT version of Windows with strategy rules ? Check if they don't block
Did you try with another version of Unity ?
Can you copy-paste your PATH environment variable ?
What does git or git.exe returns when executed from cmd.exe ? from powershell ?

I found the error @$$anonymous$$outon by checking what you said. The Git install only added the Git cmd not the Git exe to the PATH. When I added it, it worked.

can't see how to mark your comment as the correct answer so if you post your comment into an answer I will mark it as the correct answer.*

For any else who encounter this issue, the Git exe must also be specified in the PATH and the Windows installer middle option (install into Windows shell) doesn't do that. I had to add it manually.

In my case git.exe and git-lfs.exe files were in different Folder (C:\Program Files\Git\cmd) I showed the new related paths in unity and pushed the button Find System Git. and it worked.
