Set up a Git repository

Last modified: 20 May 2021

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

MPS 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, MPS searches for Git in WSL and uses it from there. Also, MPS automatically switches to Git from WSL for projects that are opened when you use the \\wsl$ path.

If for some reason you need to manually configure MPS to use Git from WSL, go to the Version Control | Git page of the Settings/Preferences Ctrl+Alt+S, 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.
