PhpStorm and Github for Windows

Question

PhpStorm integration with Git asks me for git.exe path, however "github for windows" seems like it doesn't create any git.exe file. So is it a way to config phpstorm so it use "github for windows" for working with github?

@Airliner yes sir, that solves this question too. Thanks! – Outguard

You can also change your PhpStorm terminal to use Git Bash by going into Settings > Terminal > Shell path and setting it to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe /c ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i" – Muslin

Mine only worked using this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i (WebStorm 10) – Hord

Answer 1

I set it up using Git Bash, once installed in PhpStorm go to:

settings > version control > Git

And point to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd\git.exe

Or where ever you installed Git Bash

Github for Windows uses a version of PortableGit located in the AppData\Local\Github folder.
