Install Git for Godot Launcher

Godot Launcher uses your Git installation to create and import repositories and show project Git status. Install Git separately, then rescan it in the launcher.

Check whether Git is installed​

Open a terminal and run:

git --version

If the command is not found, install Git from the official Git downloads page and follow the instructions for your operating system.

Rescan in Godot Launcher​

After installation:

  1. Open Settings > Tools.
  2. Select Rescan Git beside Git.
  3. Confirm that Git is marked Available.

Set up a project repository​

Once Git is Available, follow Git setup for Godot projects. That guide explains how to create a repository for a new or existing project, choose a commit identity, and use Git LFS.

If Git remains unavailable after a rescan, see Troubleshooting.
