raise ImportError(err)
ImportError: Bad git executable.
The git executable must be specified in one of the following ways:
- be included in your $PATH
- be set via $GIT_PYTHON_GIT_EXECUTABLE
- explicitly set via git.refresh(<full-path-to-git-executable>)
All git commands will error until this is rectified.
This initial message can be silenced or aggravated in the future by setting the
$GIT_PYTHON_REFRESH environment variable. Use one of the following values:
- quiet|q|silence|s|silent|none|n|0: for no message or exception
- warn|w|warning|log|l|1: for a warning message (logging level CRITICAL, displayed by default)
- error|e|exception|raise|r|2: for a raised exception
Example:
export GIT_PYTHON_REFRESH=quiet
The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
