Set up a Git repository

Last modified: 05 December 2024

When you clone an existing Git repository or put an existing project under Git version control, DataGrip automatically detects if Git is installed on your computer. If the IDE can't locate a Git executable, it suggests downloading it.

DataGrip supports Git from the Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2), which is available in Windows 10 version 2004.

If Git is not installed on Windows, DataGrip searches for Git in WSL and uses it from there. Also, DataGrip automatically switches to Git from WSL for projects that are opened when you use the \\wsl$ path.

If you need to manually configure DataGrip to use Git from WSL, go to the Version Control | Git settings page  CtrlAlt0S, click the Browse icon in the Path to Git executable field, and select Git from WSL via the \wsl$ path, for example, \\wsl$\debian\usr\bin\git.
