JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA has 2 plugins: Git and Github. Do I need to install Git from http://git-scm.com on my local windows machine in order to upload my files to GitHub through IntelliJ IDEA?

Git Solutions

Solution 1 - Git

I just came up against the same problem.

If you choose not to do the full PATH (environment variable) integration when install git (on Windows) you'll need to tell IntelliJ where to find git.cmd; you can do this in

Settings > Project Settings > Version Control > VCSs > Git

Example in my case it was portable git looks like this on windows

> C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\GitHub\PortableGit_d7effa1a4a322478cd29c826b52a0c118ad3db11\cmd\git.exe

Solution 2 - Git

enter image description here

Settings > Project Settings > Version Control > git

Path to Git executeable : D:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd\git.cmd

Solution 3 - Git

Yes, it looks like you need to have git installed on your machine. I just tried to clone a project on github, and I got:

Cannot run program "git.exe" (in directory "C:\Users\Steve\Code"): CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

Solution 4 - Git

You can tell IntelliJ where to find git.exe. This can be done by going into:

Configure->Settings->Version Control->Git->Path to Git Excetuable

Changing the path to something like this:

C:\Users\***YOUR_USER_NAME***\AppData\Local\GitHub\PortableGit_c7e0cbde92ba565cb218a521411d0e854079a28c\cmd\git.exe`

Solution 5 - Git

On Windows, you have to install Git first. git-for-windows.github.io is OK. Then

Configure->Settings->Version Control->Git-><browse for git.exe>
