Visual Studio Code cannot detect installed git

The user settings file is located here:

Windows %APPDATA%\Code\User\settings.json
Mac $HOME/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json
Linux $HOME/.config/Code/User/settings.json

Just add the path to the git executable in your Visual Studio Code settings like this:

{

    "git.enabled": true,

    // Path to the git executable

    "git.path": "C:\path\to\git.exe"

}
