sh: git: command not found

[caseybecking]

i'm having an error why i run my deploy

sh: git: command not found

i have git installed and have also pointer the
set :git, "/path/to/git"
as well as
set :scm_command, "/usr/local/git/bin/git"

neither worked. The command im running i can run as the user using ssh
into the box. Any ideas?

Please paste a more complete log, also your workstation needs to have Git installed.

Both the local and the server have git installed. Ip and path have
both been masked.

Password:
[xxx.xx.xx.xx] executing command
** [out :: xxx.xx.xx.xx] sh: git: command not found
** [out :: xxx.xx.xx.xx] sh: git: command not found
command finished in 825ms
failed: "sh -c 'cd /path/has/been/masked; git fetch origin; git reset
--hard origin/master'" on xxx.xx.xx.xx

now i can log onto the server via ssh and run the "sh -c 'cd /path/has/
been/masked; git fetch origin; git reset --hard origin/master'"
command without issues.

----
because you get an environment with a path

# which git
/usr/bin/git

change your 'git' commands to the full path /usr/bin/git (or adjust if your copy if git is installed somewhere else) and you won't get the command not found.
