Doesn't work with Atom 0.79.0

[tlarevo]

It seems the package is broken on Atom version 0.79.0, issue remain even after reinstallation. When Detect merge conflicts is run it shows up the developer tools.

Well that's no good. I'll try to replicate here.

I don't suppose you had a stack trace or an exception in the console when it opened?

[smashwilson]

I just did a fresh install on 0.79.0 and activated it without a problem.

Do you have another package installed that might be interfering somehow? Is the buffer in a weird state?

[tlarevo]

Hi, this is the error I get in the console I have disabled all other non-core packages and still I'm getting this, may be I'm doing it wrong...

[tlarevo]

Could it be a permission issue ?

[smashwilson]

Oh! Okay, I know what's wrong: Atom can't find the git executable. You can change the git path in the settings panel:

Set that to wherever git happens to be installed on your system. You can find that out by typing which git in a Terminal. If you don't have git installed (or if you're using a non-command-line git client and it bundles its own,) I recommend using homebrew and running brew install git.

I am planning to use git-utils eventually, by the way, which uses a bundled libgit2 installation. For the moment though I'm just shelling out to git to check status and stage files. I apologize for the clunkiness.

I see , cool thanks :) it worked , I must have installed the git before installing brew , I guess better to include this situation in the documentation. thanks again for the help and for the cool package, cheers!

No worries! This is a fairly common OS X environment thing, I think, I've seen similar issues on other packages that shell out. I'll close this now, but don't hesitate to let me know if something else breaks 😁
