deployment

Hello
I got a problem when trying to deploy : i got this error :
Preparing deployment to CapRover...

"git" command not found: CapRover needs "git" to create tar file from your branch source files.
Run "caprover deploy --help" to know more deployment options... (e.g. tar file or image name)

error Command failed with exit code 1.

and it is of course a git repo
anybody can help me please ?

Do you have git installed, can you run git --version ?

[frederic117]

yes i have git installed
git version 2.28.0.windows.1

Try using powershell. Perhaps windows terminal is acting up. If that doesn't work you can always do this:

git archive --format tar --output ./deploy.tar master
caprover deploy -t ./deploy.tar

do you think it is related to my git version?

[frederic117]

it doesn't work with powershell

There is no version check. It's a simple check here to check if git command actually exist:

caprover-cli/src/utils/ValidationsHandler.ts

Lines 19 to 25 in ede40cf

	if (!commandExistsSync('git')) {
	StdOutUtil.printError(
	'"git" command not found: CapRover needs "git" to create tar file from your branch source files.\n' +
	'Run "caprover deploy --help" to know more deployment options... (e.g. tar file or image name)\n',
	true
	)
	}

it works with
git archive --format tar --output ./deploy.tar master
caprover deploy -t ./deploy.tar
thanks
but if it could work with caprover deploy..... :)

When you get "git branch name to be deployed: (deploy)" you can put any, but it will remain static, hit Ctrl+v and it will allow you to put a new branch
