Git is not ready!
my git can work in other app, How can i get it ready for obsidian?
thanks!
There should be a notification when starting Obsidian, which gives you more details why it's not ready.
I am having the same issue, even though the vault opened is cloned from my repo. This is what it shows me when I start Obsidian -

@driftywinds Can you verify in you file viewer or terminal that a .git directory exists at the root of you obsidian vault? And try clearing the base path setting.

yes there is a .git directory at the root of my vault and the base path setting is cleared. It still gives me the same error
Same problem. There was no notification when starting Obsidian. There is a .git directory. What does "clearing the base path setting" refer to?
@mathewlowry There is a base path setting, which may cause this issue. Is there any error in the console? (CTRL + SHIFT + I)
+1 working well on a machine but "git is not ready" on another one with the same remote repo. No visible error in the console.
Hi, The instructions I was following were to install GitHub Desktop, but that turned out to be a mistake. I installed Git, messed about for a while with the guys behind massive.wiki, and got it working. Not exactly a simple install process, tho - will document it at some point, but for now hope this helps.
I found an error message :

@AlainRo See #67
Problem solved after : xcode-select --install 👍 Thank you for this plugin
When I start Obsidian, I got a notification "Cannot run git command". Similarly, the console of "Ctrl + Shift + I" report the same error ( I use Win11 OS, and my git support the "3rd-party command" )
@CupidTian That's strange, maybe git is installed in an unusual location that's not in the PATH env var of Obsidian?

@Vinzent03 I have the same issue.

PATHenv var of Obsidian?
I added /usr/bin/git (the standard path for git) explicitly but it didn't help.
I use Ubuntu 22.04.1.

I use GitHubDesktop and windows 10, I put the whole path in the Git binary path c:\Users....your_name.....\AppData\Local\GitHubDesktop\app-3.1.2\resources\app\git\cmd\git.exe
My obsidian says "Git is not ready. When all setting are correct you can configure auto backup, etc. I dont get any notificatons and I have everything set-up like in the tutorial by Danny Talks Tech. Is there something I need to turn on or check to find where I made a mistake?
@talismangit Is there any error in the console (CTRL + SHIFT + I)? You should get a notification what exactly is wrong.
I had the same issue and tried all siad on https://github.com/denolehov/obsidian-git/issues/405 and reisntall/update git, and downgrade obsidian-git but ALL didn't work.
It just backed to work when my Windows 10 laptop rebooted.
Having the same issue on startup it says cannot run git command while I have it in the standard location /usr/bin/git
windows 10, I put the whole path in the Git binary path
I only works with this path : C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe. just for note
