Here is my workstation setup:

  • Ubuntu 12.04
  • A few virtual machines (one with nginx, another with apache, etc). I use virtual box for this.
  • PhpStorm as my IDE

I mounted the virtual machines in some locations with sshfs (sshfs root@test.com:/var/www/ ~/vm/), so I see the files in PhpStorm. Since only the files in /var/www/ are visible here, PhpStorm doesn’t know that GIT is installed.

Is it possible to make the GIT from my VM to work with PhpStorm? If it is, how do I do this? I haven’t found anything about this anywhere, and I need to manually write the path to the GIT executable to get it to work (which I can’t/don’t know how to access since it’s on a VM).

    To use git integration in PhpStorm you need to have a local installation of the version control client on the host machine where you run the IDE so that IDE can locate and run it.
