Please wait Git is being initialized

After dreamweaver update to 21.5 Git is not working anymore on windows 11 in dreamweaver.  Git works outside dreamweaver.  Git settings are greyed out for both new and existing sites. Git panel is blank. Please assist. Thanks

Does anyone know if this issue was fixed in either DW 21.6 or 21.7?

Dreamweaver was stuck on "Please wait Git is being initizliaed" and after added "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe" to "Path to Git exectutable" it resolved the issue.

Confirmed - Downgrade fixed it.

@christinab52200341I had a call with a technican from Adobe. They are investigating the issue and want to release a fix a.s.a.p. So I recommend a downgrade to 21.4 until the fix is released. You should backup the settings before you downgrade otherwise your seetings will be lost.

I am also having the same issue and tried this suggested solution. It did not fix the issue.

@hendrik louisp27175984Thanks, but this workaround doesn't work. I deleted the path to the git.exe, restarted DW, but still the same problem. I only can solve the problem by downgrading to 21.4 😞

It's working. Below steps worked for me

1) I deleted the value in Path to Git executable: under Git Preferences

2) Click Apply button and close Dreamweaver

3) Open Dreamweaver and git started to work, surprisingly the value in Path to Git executable was already pre populated.
