GIT is grey'd out/inactive

I'm running DW 2017.5 (build 9878) on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1

I've downloaded and installed Git (2.13.2 - 64-bit)

DW did not seem to pick up the Git installation, even though everything is installed in default/standard directories.

So I manually set up Git as:

But in Site Manager, Git remains inactive. Rolling over the Git section pulls a tooltip that says "Please wait, Git is being initialized..." but I've waited 10 minutes and it never initializes.

What can I do to troubleshoot and "git" this working?

Turns out my local internet security service (Kaspersky) was blocking Dreamweaver.

I'm not entirely sure why it was specific/unique only to DW... since it sounds like DW utilizes the GIT exe(s) to handle all it's GIT operations, and using GIT directly (either GIT Bash or GIT GUI) worked just fine.

I believe I was able to config DW as an "approved application" in Kaspersky's config, and now have active GIT functionality in DW.

I completely uninstalled DW (and blow away all settings), completely uninstalled Git.

Reinstalled Git (using default directory and settings), reinstalled DW...

Still same issue. Setting up a new site, the entire Git section of the Site Setup dialog is grey'd out.

I can launch Git Bash and connect to repos and all, so I'm fairly confident that Git is installed correctly.

Hi Carlsteinhilber,

Can you open this folder Unnames Site 2 in your system outside DW, enable show hidden files and check if you can see a .git folder in it? If yes, this folder Unnamed Site 2 is already a git repository and thus you are seeing your options grayed out in the Site set up dialogue.

You could go back to the site set up dialogue, click on the folder icon and create a new folder or select a different one which is not a repository already. You will then see the associate a git repo options as enabled.

Do try this and let us know if it helps.

Thanks,

Archana Kaur,

Yes indeed.

I already had Git installed and an account set up. But when I couldn't get it to work, I went ahead and uninstalled Git and reinstalled from scratch just to make sure that I was using the right version/build and had no superfluous junk.

Still grey'd out.
