'Git is not installed' on intellij

Hi i am trying to link up my a java group project from github to intellij. However i keep getting this issue with Git, i download it but then i try again and it asks me to download it again?

I've looked up the 'Paths to Git executable' and this is what it shows

But i really don't understand why this is not working. I am new to github and would really appreciate some help on this!

Solution

  • I noticed that I had the same problem after installing Github Desktop for a few days. I uninstalled it because I was just testing it anyway and found my git in my system by the following code:

    which git

    That command showed me the following output:

    /usr/bin/git

    So I entered this into 'Path to Git executable' in the Preferences > Version Control > Git. And restarted the IDE. Everything works now...
