I would like to check out tags from svn via Jenkins with bash command. But I get the error message svn command cannot be found, although I have written it clearly.
Here is what my line looks like:
svn checkout http://xxx-yyyyy.zzz.xx-www.com:8888/xxx/yyy/$QQQ_tag $DDD/aaa/ --username svc.xxxxx --password
Install the subversion package and retry. On linux:
sudo apt-get install subversion
On mac with Homebrew:
brew install subversion
When you've installed it, if bash still cannot find it, check out that you have added the svn executable path to your PATH environment variable and reopen the terminal.
Check out this answer for more details on setting PATH for Jenkins
Jenkins slave not able to find svn
EDIT: I've rebooted my computer, and the issue is fixed. I have no idea why it fixed it.
In vs code on windows, when I try to Initialize Repository, I get the error
However, it used to worked fine. It changed when I tried to install Ubuntu on Windows following this video. Git is installed, and the path is in the .json file.
I'll recommend you to install git in ubuntu by apt
The git.path you've specified is to bash, not git. There's probably some wrapper that invokes that binary using git, and so when you type git init, you're really invoking bash init, which asks bash to run the script named init. Since it doesn't exist, your command is failing.
You should set git.path to a path to a Git binary, and not a bash binary.
Windows, when I try to run npm install, it shows:
mean#1.0.0 postinstall E:\mean
node node_modules/grunt-cli/bin/grunt install
Running "bower:install" (bower) task
Fatal error : git is not installed or not in the PATH
npm ERR! weird error 1
npm ERR! not ok code 0
What is the problem? How to fix it?
The project git repository is https://github.com/linnovate/mean
Did you install Git correctly?
According to the Bower site, you need to make sure you check the option "Run Git from Windows Command Prompt".
I had this issue where Git was not found when I was trying to install Angular. I re-ran the installer for git and changed my setting and then it worked.
From the bower site:
http://bower.io/
while #vitocorleone is technically correct. If you have already installed, there is no need to reinstall. You just need to add it to your path. You will find yourself doing this for many of the tools for the mean stack so you should get used to doing it. You don't want to have to be in the folder that holds the executable to run it.
Control Panel --> System and Security --> System
click on Advanced System Settings on the left.
make sure you are on the advanced tab
click the Environment Variables button on the bottom
under system variables on the bottom find the Path variable
at the end of the line type (assuming this is where you installed it)
;C:\Program Files (x86)\git\cmd
click ok, ok, and ok to save
This essentially tells the OS.. if you don't find this executable in the folder I am typing in, look in Path to fide where it is.
Installing git and running npm install from git-bash worked for me. Make sure you are in the correct directory.
Install git and tortoise git for windows and make sure it is on your path, (the installer for Tortoise Git includes options for the command line tools and ensuring that it is on the path - select them).
You will need to close and re-open any existing command line sessions for the changes to take effect.
Then you should be able to run npm install successfully or move on to the next problem!
In my case the issue was not resolved because i did not restart my system. Please make sure you do restart your system.
If you installed GitHubDesktop then the path for git.exe will be ,
C:\Users\<'Username'>\AppData\Local\GitHubDesktop\app-1.1.1\resources\app\git\cmd
Add this path to the environment variables by following,
** (Note: \cmd at the end, not \cmd\git.exe).**
Navigate to the Environmental Variables Editor and find the Path variable in the “System Variables” section. Click Edit… and paste the URL of Git to the end. Save!
Now open a new cmd and type command git. If you are able to see the git usage then it's done.
Now you can execute your command to install your package.
ex: npm install native-base --save
Use Git CMD instead of using Win CMD.
I did install git and tried again and got the same error. But running 'npm install' in a new command prompt window worked for me. Restarting the machine is not required.
Go to Environmental Variables you will find this in Computer Properties->Advance system Setting->Environmental Variables -> Path
Add the path of your git installed int the system.
eg: "C:\Program Files\Git\cmd"
Save it.
Good to go now!!
The issue depends on the command prompt you are using. if you are using your Windows cmd, then it will be fine if you have installed git in your system (note that after installation it gets added to your system path). if you are running on an Anaconda terminal or any other, then you need to install git on your project environment from the terminal.
for anaconda, the problem gets solved by running:
conda install git
I just upgraded to Git 1.8.0.1 for Windows, from my previous version 1.7.9.mysysgit.0. I downloaded the new version from the Git site and installed through the normal Git installer EXE.
That said, when I fire up my terminal window, it still is showing that I am running Git version 1.7.9.mysysgit.0. When I type git --version from my prompt, the same thing.
I found this article on a similar issue with Git on Mac OS X, which leads me to believe that it has something to do with a faulty PATH, but I'm still pretty new at all this (five months self-taught), so I'm at a loss in how to translate this to Windows.
This problem arose when I began a new Ruby on Rails project and tried to push it up to Git. I added the remote:
git remote add origin git#github.com:brianscottk/blog.git
then:
git push -u origin master
I received the following error message:
fatal: https://github.com refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?
Googling that error led me to this article, which prompted me to upgrade, and here I am.
Since Git 2.16.1(2) you can use
C:\> git update-git-for-windows
In version between 2.14.2 and 2.16.1, the command was
C:\> git update
(It was later renamed to avoid confusion with updating the local repository, e.g. like svn update does it.)
That command does not exist in Git 2.13 and before.
If this errors with "is not a git command" then either you don't actually have Git for Windows, or your version is very old.
In which case, simply get the latest installer from https://git-scm.com/download (check whether you want 32- or 64-bit) and run it to upgrade.
If you already have the latest version it does nothing, in which case you can manually run the installer to reinstall.
C:\> git update-git-for-windows
Git for Windows 2.17.0.windows.1 (64bit)
Up to date
First, check your Git version by using this command
git version
Then follow the case according to your Git version
Three cases:
If your Git version is 2.14.1 or earlier:
Uninstall Git, download the latest Git, and install it again.
And versions between 2.14.2 and 2.16.1:
Use command git update
If the version is equal to or greater than Git 2.16.1(2):
Use command git update-git-for-windows
Git Bash
Note, if you are instead looking to find out what version of Git Bash you are running, or want to see if you need to update Git Bash, it is part of Git for Windows.
So your Git Bash version is:
git --version
git version 2.23.0.windows.1
Note that it is technically different from Bash. On my same machine when I run:
echo $BASH_VERSION
4.4.23(1)-release
Git for Windows installer
To update to the latest version of Git and Git Bash, you can download and install the latest version of Git for Windows. As per this FAQ, settings/customizations should be preserved if they were installed in the appropriate configuration folders.
Note: Their installer is actually intelligently designed to do the right thing (though it doesn't tell you upfront that it defaults to your prior settings automatically!).
If you are doing an update, then every screen on the installer is pre-marked with the settings from your current (soon to be previous) install.
It is not showing you generic default settings. You do not need to look any of them up, or fear for breaking your carefully honed setup. Just leave everything as is, to retain your previous choices.
In fact, they made it even easier (if only it was clear that they did so).
There is a checkbox at the bottom [] Show only new settings (I don't remember the exact wording). Since nothing on the first screen changes when you mark the box, it is not exactly obvious what it is for. If you mark the box, then all of your current settings will be retained, and it will skip showing those (subsequent) settings screens to you. Only screens with newly introduced settings will be shown.
git update-git-for-windows
Alternatively, as others have noted, you can also update Git Bash and Git (by definition, both are always updated at the same time) from the Git Bash command line, via:
git update-git-for-windows
If you type git update, Git kindly reminds you that the command has been updated to git update-git-for-windows:
Warning! git update has been deprecated;
Please use git update-git-for-windows instead.
Git for Windows 2.26.0.windows.1 (64bit)
Up to date
Just give the following command with your command prompt.
git update-git-for-windows
This will ask you a confirmation as follows. Press Y to proceed.
Once the files are downloaded, continue with the normal installation procedures. You can check the Git version after finishing installation with the following command:
git version
For me, the result was as follows.
Update (26 September 2016): It is no longer needed to uninstall your previous version of Git to upgraded it to the latest; the installer package found at Git Windows download site takes care of all. Just follow the prompts.
For additional information, follow instructions at installing and upgrading Git.
If you just type
git update-git-for-windows
If you are having issues with it, run Bash as administrator or add the 'git.exe' path to the "allowed apps through controlled folder access".
If you have already installed Git, you can update Git with the command
git update-git-for-windows
to know the current version, use:
git --version
You can run these commands in the cmd prompt.
Check version: git --version
If your Git version is 2.27.0.windows.1 or earlier
If the version is equal to or greater than Git 2.27.0.windows.1
Use command git update-git-for-windows
If you want to see a video tutorial click here.
Just run:
git update-git-for-windows
Use git update-git-for-windows as in this session:
PS Z:\MERN-STACK-ECOMMERCE-PROJECT> git --version
git version 2.31.0.windows.1
PS Z:\MERN-STACK-ECOMMERCE-PROJECT> git update-git-for-windows
Git for Windows 2.31.0.windows.1 (64bit)
Update 2.33.1.windows.1 is available
Download and install Git for Windows 2.33.1 [N/y]? y
############################################################################################################ 100.0%-
############################################################################################################ 100.0%
PS Z:\MERN-STACK-ECOMMERCE-PROJECT> git --version
git version 2.33.1.windows.1
PS Z:\MERN-STACK-ECOMMERCE-PROJECT>
Using the command "where git" find out how command prompt picks up the version. Once you have the path, you can go ahead and uninstall / delete previous version completely. Then if you install and make sure the new installed location is in the path, it should just work fine.
Using git-friendly tools like cmder will make your life much easier. You don't really have to use dual boot or cygwin anymore since the support for git in windows is already top-notch now. (Git for windows installs msysgit which includes all necessary unix tools from MinGW. MinGW has been there for a while and is pretty stable. If you want you can install the full version of msysgit rather than Git for Windows. msysgit is available on Git for windows page at the bottom.)
You can use,
git update
Or if you are on a Windows machine, you can run the command below,
git update-git-for-windows
Based on Simon's answer, I first uninstalled the new version of Git. I then re-installed the new version of Git into the same directory as the old version, C:/RailsInstaller/Git, instead of the default directory C:/Git.
Now my Ruby on Rails terminal window shows that I am running the new Git version 1.8.0.
If you look at the most recent update on Git's website in the "git via git" section you will see an option to update your older version.
Here is the command that git has on their site:
git clone https://github.com/git/git
It worked for my version of git which was a 2.13.0.windows.1.
To check out your PATH variable, act as follows:
From the Desktop, right-click My Computer and click Properties.
Click the Advanced System Settings link in the left column.
In the System Properties window click the Environment Variables button.
Once there, scroll to get the Path row. You'll get a long string of paths (e.g., C:\windows\bin;C:\program files\git, etc.).
Find the line or lines where git is referenced. Then, make sure this path point to your Git 1.8.x installation. If not, delete it and add the real path to the newest Git version. At the end, you should only have one path in the string linking to Git.
I don't think your problem is related to Windows' global PATH environment variable, as remote is specific to repositories.
I recommend you to use Git under Cygwin. Git could work under Windows command line, but there may be some weird problems hard to figure out. Under Cygwin it's more nature and has fewer errors.
All you need is to type bash in Window CMD, and then start to use the Unix tools and commands. You can use a shortcut to load bash; it's as easy as use normal Windows CMD.
The same is true for Ruby on Rails and Ruby. I used RailsInstaller before, but I found using Cygwin to install Rails is more stable.
Finally, I'll suggest to install Ubuntu dual boot if you have time (about a month to get familiar with it). Windows is not very friendly to every Unix tools ultimately. You'll find all pain stopped.
On my Windows 10, > git update-git-for-windows refused to work with curl issues. Only the below command worked.
winget install --id Git.Git -e --source winget
I downloaded and installed GitHub (latest version) for OS X, installed command line utility under Github in the application and am coming up with an error trying to create my first readme file in a repo entitled "basic-twitbstrap".
Macbooks-MacBook-Pro-2:basic-twitbstrap macbook$ git init
-bash: git: command not found
If they're not installed in standard location, command-line programs need some environment modifications to be called, which consists in adding their directory to the PATH environment variable.
So in your case you need to add /usr/local/github to your path, see how.
I installed the latest version of Ruby Version Manager, then entered 'git' into the Terminal. It came up with a list of usage and common commands.
Now it runs.
Macbooks-MacBook-Pro-2:~ macbook$ git --version
