git: ‘…’ is not a git command
If running certain commands from SmartGit fails, which work when running from command line, this is usually caused by a different PATH environment of SmartGit.
This happens e.g. when extending the PATH in files like ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile.
Because SmartGit is not starting an interactive shell, these files won’t be processed.
The solution is to specify the PATH either in a file which will be processed by the system when starting SmartGit (for macOS, see this Stackoverflow answer) or by adding PATH= to smartgit.vmoptions, see VM Options.
Typical failures:
git: 'credential-osxkeychain' is not a git command.
