Cause
you have no Git client installed
or it is not properly available on PATH.
Diagnosis
Launch command line executing
cmd.exein Start > RunEnter the command
gitto check if Git is installed and is available on PATH.Try and run
git.exeas of the previous point. If it fails, check your PATH environment variable
If it turns out that you have no Git client installed (as of point 2 above), then install a supported Git client as of the supported platforms documentation. If that is not the case, proceed to the resolution below.
Resolution
Check in your PATH variable for your Git installation:
It likely will include
<GIT-INSTALL>\cmdbut not<GIT-INSTALL>\bin.The former will contain
git.cmdto get the commandgitworking, however Fisheye expectsgit.exeto be present on the PATH.So the solution is to add the
<GIT-INSTALL>\binfolder to your current PATH definition.
