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? |

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! |

I don't know if GitHub Desktop comes with Git. *If* it does, it will also

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! |
