Are you trying to view Git Graph in multi-root workspace? If so, is the first root folder a Git repo?

Git Graph just work for the first folder in vs code?how to use it in other root folder?

[mhutchie]

@oppoic Multi-root workspaces will be fully support in the next release 1.4.1 (available tomorrow), as described in the issue https://github.com/mhutchie/vscode-git-graph/issues/13. I asked this question, as it could explain the issue @SmUrF3R5 was having, as Git Graph currently only displays the first folder in a multi-root workspace.

[mhutchie]

@SmUrF3R5 Multi-root support now available in 1.4.1 (which I was alluding to in my previous question). Please update to it, and report back if you are still having an issue.

@SmUrF3R5 Your value for git.path doesn't include git.exe. The Visual Studio Code description of the git.path setting indicates "Path and filename of the git executable, e.g. C:\Program Files\Git\bingit.exe (Windows).". Missing git.exe would definitely cause the behaviour you're observing.

I just experienced this issue and it was because git.path wasn't set in settings.json.

[avirupdutta]

how did you fix it?
I have this set in my settings .json
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe"
"git.path": "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe",
but it still doesn't work :(

[mhutchie]

@avirupdutta git.path is the "Path and filename of the git executable". You have it referring to the bash executable bash.exe instead of the Git executable git.exe.

[avirupdutta]

I also tried putting git.exe in the path of "git.path" but it still doesn't
recognize. So I tried out with bash.exe

@avirupdutta git.path should be C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe for you, not C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe.

OMG it worked!!!! Thank you so so much :)
It just needed the vscode to be refreshed after I update the settings.json file
