Question

I am going to use Git version control by IntelliJ Community Edition in order to make branches of the programs I intend to develop  I am striving to accustom myself to its functionality and I come accross obstacles     I follow the instructions of the web-page  http   wiki jetbrains net intellij Using Git Locally and although I do what it orders  when I reach Image5 I find an empty list under Default    It is possible that it does not matter I thought  so I continued the procedure  However when I come to most important section of Committing Changes to Master  Revision 1  the list is also empty and the commit changes does not detect any changes to my project  see Image13 and Image 14    Apart from that  I receive a message when I open the project  once more indicating that the Git execution path is not correct  But how can I get knowledge of what execution path should be appropriate so as to insert it    Does anybody know a decent order of instructions  on a web site or by his won experience  which can guide me to how I can take advantage of Git functionality to incorporate it to my work  It is crucial for me to put my work through

git exe is common for any git based applications like GitHub  Bitbucket etc  Some times it is possible that you have already installed another git based application so git exe will be present in the bin folder of that application    For example if you installed bitbucket before github in your PC  you will find git exe in C  Users  username  AppData Local Atlassian SourceTree git local bin instead of C  Users  username  AppData Local GitHub PortableGit      bin

You need to specify the executable path of Git in the Git Settings  as mentionned in the per-requesites   The Git integration plugin is enabled and the location of the Git executable file is correctly specified on the Git page of the Settings dialog box   As long as you see  quot a message indicating that the Git execution path is not correct quot   the rest  of the instructions won t work   Path to Git executable   In this text box  specify the path to the Git executable file  Type the path manually or click the Browse button to open the Select Path - Git Configuration dialog box and select the location of the Git executable file in the directories tree   See  quot Where is git exe located  quot  for the path of Git on Windows   with Git for Windows    C  Program Files Git mingw64 bin    OR     c  path to PortableGit-2 6 2-64-bit usr bin  OR     c  path to PortableGit-2 x  mingw64 bin   With GitHub Desktop     USERPROFILE  AppData Local GitHub PORTAB 1 bin git exe     Update 2020  three years later  As noted by Daniel Connelly in the comments  IntelliJ now lets people install it through the path specified in the help above  just look for the  quot Download Now quot  button on the Git menu   If you download Git from the website  a version that IntelliJ does not support will be installed
