No Git Repository Was Detected, Even With Git in Path

  • Revisr(1.9.5) can’t detect my repo: No Git repository was detected, click here to create one.
    Although Git Install Path is not found, it shows the git version

    I can pull, push and everything else from both the command line (powershell) and Git bash. I am fully authenticated to my private repo in both shells.

    I have specified my path to git in wp_config.php:
    define( ‘REVISR_GIT_PATH’, ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\git.exe’ );

    My structure looks like this (i’m using wpackagist to manage plugins):

    wwwroot/
  .git
  index.php
  wp_config.php
  wp/
    base wp files
    ...
  wp-content/
    plugins/
      revisr/
    themes/
  composer.json

    Operating System Windows NT
    Exec() Enabled true
    Git Install Path Not Found
    Git Version git version 1.9.5.msysgit.1
    MySQL Install Path C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysql.exe
    Repository Status No repository detected.

    Hi,

    Since you’re using a custom structure, you may need to define the path to the repo as well. You can do this by adding the following to your wp-config.php:

    define( 'REVISR_GIT_DIR', dirname( __FILE__ ) );

    The path in the “Help” tab currently isn’t updated by the value you define in the config – it’s just what Revisr can detect automatically.

    Thanks for the quick reply! This didn’t help, though. Still the same results. Even after restarting the server. I can’t pull, push, view branches, see commits, etc. from within Revisr, but I can do all those things from the both Git bash, and Windows powershell

    I just noticed that since I specified the REVISR_GIT_DIR path that my .gitignore file is being recognized by Revisr under “Files/Directories to ignore”

    Hi,

    When you installed Git, did you select the option to make it available to all scripts and programs? Are you using WAMP or XAMP or did you compile Apache, MySQL, etc manually?

    It sounds like a path issue, but you seem to have already figured that out. Can you confirm if the permissions for the .git directory and subfolders are the same as the permissions for WordPress?

    When I installed Git, the options were:

    Use Git from Git Bash only
Use Git from the Windows Command Prompt
Use Git and optional Unix tools from the Windows Command Prompt <---

    The only other options concerned line ending conversions.

    I’m using MySQL installed through Windows Platform Installer and served by IIS. No XAMP or WAMP stacks are being used. This is an Amazon EC2 instance running Windows Server 2008.

    I can, indeed, confirm that the permissions are the same for .git as well as the wwwroot folder, wp-content folder, and wp folders.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the additional details. It looks like everything should be good here. Was the repo created by a different user than the user running the server? I wonder if you have the correct permissions in terms of read/write access but to the wrong user.

    The fact that the git version and gitignore are both recognized makes it seem as if it has both the correct path to git and the correct path to the repo.
