Heroku CLI Not Detecting Git

I am trying to download my git repository off of heroku using

heroku git:clone -a my_app

but am given the error

ENOENT: spawn git ENOENT

I read online that this error happens because git was not detected by heroku-cli, but I have git installed. How can I get heroku-cli to detect my git installation? If it's useful, I installed heroku-cli through snap and have installed git through apt-get, and I run ubuntu 17.04 lts.

Solution

  • It turns out this is a bug with snap. Running

    sudo snap remove heroku

    and

    wget -qO- https://cli-assets.heroku.com/install-ubuntu.sh | sh

    solves the problem.
