Troubleshooting and feedback

“Git not found” or an old Git

MyTwig needs Git 2.32 or later. It looks on your PATH and where Homebrew, MacPorts and the system put Git, and uses the newest. Install or update Git:

• macOS: xcode-select --install, or brew install git.
• Windows: Git for Windows.
• Linux: your package manager, for example sudo apt install git.

To use a specific Git, pick it in Settings → Git → Git executable. Some features need newer Git: conflict prediction and stacked rebases need 2.38.

Hooks or tools not found when opened from the Dock

Apps opened from the Dock don’t get your terminal’s PATH. MyTwig reads your login shell’s PATH in the background when it starts, so hooks like git-lfs’s are found. If a hook still fails, check that the tool is on the PATH your login shell sets.

Push or fetch asks for a password again and again

Set up a credential helper, or sign in under Settings → Accounts: accounts there answer HTTPS prompts for their host. For SSH remotes, add your key to the agent in Settings → SSH.

A command failed

When Git says more than one line, the error has Show Output. View → Git Command Log shows every command MyTwig ran, with its output and exit status.

The app crashed

Logs are in:

• macOS: ~/Library/Logs/MyTwig
• Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\MyTwig\Logs
• Linux: ~/.local/state/mytwig

Turning on crash reports in Settings → Privacy helps get crashes fixed. See Privacy for exactly what’s sent.

Send feedback

Help → Send Feedback… in the app opens a feedback form with your version and system filled in. You can also open one in the browser (中文表单).

Include the steps to reproduce, what you expected, any error text, and screenshots if you can.
