'GIT - IntelliJ : Failed to start Git process
I m getting this message when I try to pull or to push my commits using IntelliJ :
"Failed to start Git process"
In the settings of my IntelliJ I linked the git binary folder as this : C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe and when I click on "Test" it says the following :
Git executed successfully Git version is 2.9.0
However when I use the command line (using a terminal) to pull aord push it works correctly!
I consulted several links on the web to resolve my issue but without success I consulted this one too : Failed to start Git process

Had a similar issue. In my case, IntelliJ logs(C:\Users\UserName\.IdeaIC2017.3\system\log) had the following info:
"C:\Users\UserName\.IdeaIC2017.3\system\tmp\intellij-git-askpass.bat (Access is denied)"
So, I went ahead and deleted the following two files(located at C:\Users\UserName\.IdeaIC2017.3\system\tmp) and the error went away:
intellij-git-askpass.bat
intellij-git-ssh.bat
Not really sure what the two files are responsible for, though.

Go to preferences => Version control => Git Change the directory path for the executable to /usr/local/git/bin/git.
Hit Test button to confirm.

The simple ways is to try the following steps:
First run :
$ git config --global credential.helper store
Then simply Update your git version :
$git update-git-for-windows
