When I try to start Visual Studio Code without administrator right, I get VSCode report like "It look like git is not installed on your system".
I installed git(2.23.0) from https://git-scm.com/
and
Visual Studio Code (1.39.2) from https://code.visualstudio.com/
When I start VSCode with administrator rights, git is correctly detected.
I've tried to add git path on Windows environment PATH + restart PC -> did not work.
I've tried to add git path on VSCode setting.json + restart like :
{
// Is git enabled
"git.enabled": true,
// Path to the git executable
"git.path": "C:\\path\\to\\git.exe"
// other settings
}
--> that also did not work.
If I use "Show Git Output", the report shows me the correct path, but doesn't detect the git installation.
Finally, I found a solution to solve my problem. When I install VS code by default,is going on "C:\users[user]\AppData\vscode". and git default installation folder is "C:\Program Files\Git\"
When I try to call git function from vscode it come from my user directory and access to git is forbidden.
SOLUTION : I install git on my user directory and now it's work.
