I had the same issue--you need to install Git in addition to Github desktop! |

Nope, something's the matter with Git LFS 3.2.0. I've got Git for Windows 2.36.1 and Git LFS 3.1.4, never had any problems. Now I get the same message as OP when trying to upgrage Git LFS to 3.2.0. I tried reinstalling Git for Windows, but it didn't help. |

Ah, sorry. I somehow thought that Git for Windows has two separate options, one for adding itself to PATH, the other for its availability from the command line. But this is not the case: |

I guess we could do the same in Git LFS' installer as we do in Git for Windows' installer: look at

That seems reasonable; it would be a nice addition for the next release. Thanks! |

I have the same issue as [(https://github.com//discussions/5031#discussion-4110835)]. I am new to git so, can someone dumb down the solution for me? What I understood is that I need to download GIT for windows and have the above selections when installing? |

The official patch for this problem, from #5048, will be in the next Git LFS release, slated for a couple of weeks from now. In the meantime, if you reinstall Git for Windows and do not choose the "Use Git from Git Bash only" option, that should help. |

For anyone tracking this discussion, please try this pre-release version of Git for Windows and see if it fixes the problem when choosing the "Use Git from Git Bash only" option: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.39.0-rc2.windows.1 Thank you, and please report if it works or if the problem persists! |

Having the same issue as OP but with with Windows 3.3.0. Because I am following tutorials, and they seem to imply only using GithubDesktop is required, can you (or someone else here) confirm if the desktop-version of Git is enough, or I am required to install the Git for Windows as well as GithubDesktop? I did check my path variable and the GithubDesktop is listed, and 'gh' commands work at a regular command-prompt. 'git' commands do not work... Plz help. :( |

I don't know if GitHub Desktop comes with Git. If it does, it will also come with Git LFS, so you should not need to install Git LFS manually in such a case. Typically, if you just install Git for Windows, then Git LFS comes with it, so I'd recommend that as the approach if possible and avoid installing Git LFS separately. |

Just thought I'd chime in and say I use Github Desktop for my projects normally, and I am also getting this same issue in 2025 when trying to install LFS via https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/managing-large-files/installing-git-large-file-storage I reinstalled Git as suggested by @Nathan-Amiri "Here's the link: https://gitforwindows.org/" and that seems to have fixed it. I was just commenting because it was unclear with some of the posts suggesting that this would be automatically fixed in a 2022 release of github desktop. I believe LFS was also installed this time along with Git, so that is nice. Anyway just thought I'd report back what worked for me recently. Edit: Just wanted to say, even though it installed LFS, I still had to open command line and type "git install lfs" when it was done to initialize LFS one time! |
