WSL Git not working with PHPStorm 2024.1
I upgraded to PHPStorm 2024.1 and it is now telling me that Git is not installed.
I even tried to manually set the path to the Git binary in WSL and it still didn't work.

Hi,
Apparently, you are experiencing the following issue:

Please try a workaround from this comment:

Just in case, I will quote add it here as well:
- Open built-in IDE registry (Help > Find Action > “Registry”);
- Untick
wsl.use.remote.agent.for.launch.processesoption;- Restart the IDE.
That seems to have fixed the problem.
Thank you!
I had a similar problem.
The first few days it was just really slow and I managed by invalidating the cache (maybe just restarting was enough, who knows now).
But today it was stuck to `updating` under the `local changes` tab and I couldn't use git at all under phpstorm (I usually use it only to check the changes I made, I do everything else in the terminal).
Unticking
wsl.use.remote.agent.for.launch.processessolved the problem.
