EAS Build:configure... git command not found

Hello friends!

I’m having some issues with EAS Build and Configure. If I run ‘eas build [ios,android, or all]’ I get the following message:

Your iOS project is not configured to build with EAS. Set it up now? » (Y/n)

I then hit ‘y’ and get the following message:

Error: git command not found, install it before proceeding

What git command? How can I install it? I haven’t found any other people with this issue, so any information would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a screenshot of the issue (I think, I’m not 100% sure I did it right)

And here are the results of ‘expo diagnostics’

Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thanks!

Hi @jpryzby

Git is software for keeping track of the history of your project as you develop it.

It can be downloaded from here:
http://git-scm.com/

See the documentation link on that site for how to use it.

Oh I understand, I did not realize Git was a prerequisite for EAS. It has been installed and my problem is now fixed. Thanks for the help!

you can also disable git if you want by setting EAS_NO_VCS=1 on each command or in your shell profile. that said, you need to have either a .gitignore or .easignore file in your project directory in order for eas-cli to know which files to skip uploading to eas build (eg: you don’t want to upload your node_modules directory or any temporary build files, most likely)
