How to find out what Git version the PhpStorm Built in is using?

Because of CVE-2017-1000117 I have to upgrade git on my system. For the executable, I just downloaded the latest client from git-scm. Using the native git client from PhpStorm does not work for me so I am bound to using the built in.

But how do I find out what version of Git PHPStorm is using? Is that version safe to use for git clone --recursive?

Solution

  • PhpStorm uses Git executable that has been set in File | Settings | Version Control | Git and no other. There is no built in Git client in PhpStorm.
