How to fix the issue of SourceTree not detecting Git during installation?

There are several possible reasons why Sourcetree may not be able to detect Git.

1. Git is not properly installed: ensure that you have installed Git correctly. Run the command git –version in the terminal or command prompt to check if Git is successfully installed and working correctly.
2. Sourcetree is not properly configured with the Git path: Open Sourcetree, click on “Preferences” in the menu bar, then select the “Git” tab. Make sure the Git version and installation path are both correctly configured. You can click the “Detect” button to automatically find the Git installation path.
3. The system environment variables are not configured correctly: If you did not choose the option to “add Git to the system PATH” during installation, Sourcetree may not be able to find Git. In this case, you can manually add the installation path of Git to the system’s environment variables. Please refer to the documentation for your operating system for specific instructions.
4. Sourcetree may sometimes cache incorrect Git paths, causing it to not detect Git properly. You can try clearing Sourcetree’s cache, then reopening and configuring it again.

If none of the above methods solve the issue, you can try reinstalling Git and Sourcetree, making sure to configure them correctly. If the problem persists, it is recommended to seek assistance from Sourcetree’s official support or seek help in relevant technical communities.
