Android Studio Checkout Github Error "CreateProcess=2" (Windows)

I've solved the problem , and I will explain how :

  1. Download Github For Windows client and install it.
  2. After The client successfully installed , connect it with your github account.It should be easy , just follow the wizard.
  3. Then you should add git.exe location to your "Path Variable". The location you should add will probably be something like : C:\Users\Your_Username\AppData\Local\GitHub\PortableGit_ca477551eeb4aea0e4ae9fcd3358bd96720bb5c8\bin

Alternatively , if you don't want to add to environment variables. You can open the android studio and go to : Settings -> Version Control -> Git In text box next to "Path to Git Executable" you will see "git.exe" , just give it a full path like so : C:\Users\Your_Username\AppData\Local\GitHub\PortableGit_ca477551eeb4aea0e4ae9fcd3358bd96720bb5c8\bin\git.exe

EDIT : For latest Github for windows versions some can find the git.exe under "...\cmd\git.exe" rather than "...\bin\git.exe".


I found what I think is a faster solution. Install Git for Windows from here: http://git-scm.com/download/win

That automatically adds its path to the system variable during installation if you tell the installer to do so (it asks for that). So you don't have to edit anything manually.

Just close and restart Android Studio if it's open and you're ready to go.
