Help with Connect to Revision Control
So, I am working through the online documentation to learn modding Satisfactory.
The breadcrumb I am on is:
Satisfactory Modding Documentation / Development / Git and Modding / Creating a Mod Git Repo #_option_a_have_github_create_the_repo_for_you_via_cloning
It says, "Launch the editor and package your mod to make sure everything is still working."
I pressed the 'Alphakit!' button in the Alphakit dev window and it pops up a failed dialog with an exit code of 12. I decided to continue, figuring it might not matter, and got to #_enable_ue_vcs_integration
It says to 'Select Git from the dropdown, then click "Accept Settings".' It doesn't like that, so I point the 'Git Path' to ...AppData/Local/GitHubDesktop/GitHubDesktop.exe and it loads GitDesktop but pops up a dialog that says, 'Revision Control: Connection Error: Failed to enable Git revision Control. You need to install Git and specify a valid path to git executeable.
The documentation doesn't cover any of these eventualities anywhere that I could find and I feel like I am stuck because I would really like to use Git.

Hi. Since these forums are new, people aren't into the habit of checking every post.
Your problem can be solved by installing git as the error tells you to.
so I point the 'Git Path' to ...AppData/Local/GitHubDesktop/GitHubDesktop.exethis is the problem this is not the path to git this is the path to github desktop find the path to git's executable I don't know if
which is a thing on windows, but which git in a terminal should tell you where that is (if git is installed)Thanks, I will try that as soon as I get home!
GIT is a protocol and program which multiple apps and website can interface with. Github is just a website and or program using the protocol. UE wants the protocol so it can use it not some random app it doesn't udnerstand and would try to do its job.
according to le interwebz the correct command would be
where.exe git or Get-Command git in powershellRodger, will do!
Thanks peeps!
