Do you have git installed? Can you run the command git and return the help usage of git?

That error is not gulp, it is a node.js stack trace.

I have this git installed: https://msysgit.github.io/
Here's some more info
C:\Users\chris>which git.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\git.exe

C:\Users\chris>where git
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\git.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Web Tools\External\git\git.exe

The most commonly used git commands are:
add Add file contents to the index
bisect Find by binary search the change that introduced a bug
branch List, create, or delete branches
checkout Checkout a branch or paths to the working tree
clone Clone a repository into a new directory
commit Record changes to the repository
diff Show changes between commits, commit and working tree, etc
fetch Download objects and refs from another repository
grep Print lines matching a pattern
init Create an empty Git repository or reinitialize an existing one
log Show commit logs
merge Join two or more development histories together
mv Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink
pull Fetch from and integrate with another repository or a local branch
push Update remote refs along with associated objects
rebase Forward-port local commits to the updated upstream head
reset Reset current HEAD to the specified state
rm Remove files from the working tree and from the index
show Show various types of objects
status Show the working tree status
tag Create, list, delete or verify a tag object signed with GPG

'git help -a' and 'git help -g' lists available subcommands and some
concept guides. See 'git help ' or 'git help '
to read about a specific subcommand or concept.

Please let me know if this gives you any ideas, or if there is more info about my environment that may shed light.

Can you create a simple test repo to reproduce the bug?

I'll need to find a way to test this on windows...

I'm working on a different project this week. I'll try to create a simple test next week.

• Thanks, Chris

Not sure if this has been resolved or not, but thought I'd add my two cents. I have git installed from the same msysgit website, and have had no problems. I've written our entire build server using gulp, and a large portion of this is using git.

I tested the above code to see if it works, and I'm able to run it and see the commit with no problems. Not sure if it's a bug in the rest of the code/setup, but the snippet shared seems to work without issue on Windows (at least on Windows 10 and 8).

@legacybass thank you for testing!

I will close this as solved. Request to reopen if the problem resumes.
