Installing Git

Install Git before asking Godot Launcher to create a repository for a project.

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. Click Rescan tools.
3. Confirm that Git is marked Available.

Initialize a repository

• For a new project, open Projects > New Project and enable Initialize Git Repository.
• For an existing project, open its settings and choose Source Control > Initialize Git. This creates the repository without changing or committing project files.

See Using Git With Godot Launcher for the different setup results and generated files.

If Git remains unavailable after a rescan, see Troubleshooting.
