Terminal

zsh: command not found: git

What it means
Your computer doesn't have Git installed yet, so it can't save checkpoints of your project.
Likely causes
  • Git hasn't been installed yet (or the macOS command line developer tools prompt wasn't accepted).
  • The coding agent app wasn't restarted after installing Git.
Prevention
Verify git --version during your one-time setup before starting a project.

Copy for your agent

You said “command not found: git”. I've installed Git and reopened the app. Please check `git --version` now.
