git cli available from within IntelliJ?
Answered
Is it possible to execute git cli commands from within IntelliJ? When I click the Git icon in lower left corner (alt-9), I get a limited choice of options, and a console that is read-only.

Hi Brian,
What you see is https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/version-control-tool-window-console-tab.html which only shows output and is not interactive.
Terminal here is interactive and all terminal commands can be used (git, too):
Ah, perfect! Completely missed that. So digging deeper, I found this dialog and tried to set it up to bring up git-bash:
However, it's not opening up the Terminal window in the IDE, but rather popping up a separate window. Any way to force git-bash to open in the IDE?
You can try to set
bash.exe
path as the Shell path:That worked, thanks again!
