Dreamweaver 2020 fails to connect with git

After updating to Dreamweaver 2020 I can't connect with our GIT environment anymore. It keeps popping up with this: credential-osxkeychain is not a git command.

 

 

I've tried removing the keychain, renewing the user/pw, but it doesnt seem to store them anymore.

I read previos Dreamweaver versions (mainly 2017) had the same problems, wich were fixed after an update.

 

Does anyone have a clue? It used to work perfectly.

 

Thanks in advance,

Viktor

Thanks Viktor, 

This has been waisting my time terribly. It makes me wonder if Adobe should stop promoting Dreamweaver compatability with Git.

Hi Viktor,

I am sorry to hear this!

Could you please let us know if you are still facing this issue. Also, are you able to connect successfully to your git repo using terminal outside Dreamweaver. Please share your git configuration by executing below command -

"git config --list"

 

Thanks

At first I parked this issue but because I recently did a complete reinstall of my Macbook pro, I tried to re-configure GIT.

What have i done:

I followed the instructions at: https://helpx.adobe.com/nl/dreamweaver/using/git-support.html

- installed GIT

- tried to connect my DW site to a GIT environment.

- upon saving it popups with the error shown above

 

At first I found that there are 2 GIT installs (one pre-installed from Apple v2.21 and the one I just installed v2.23). 

I added the path to the newly installed GIT (in /usr/local/git/bin) to /etc/paths (at the top).

Still it won't connect to my GIT environment.

 

This is the output from "git config --list"):

Doe you have any suggestions?

I'm using Git in a Win 10 environment with no issues... can you connect to Git outside of Dreamweaver (via terminal or other application)?
