Git may fail on Windows because flutter repo is marked as unsafe #123161
Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
- I have read the guide to filing a bug
Steps to reproduce
On Windows 10 with git previously installed :
- Download flutter and unzip it where you want (in my case C:\flutter)
- Add multiple environment variables (git, powershell, system32, flutter path, in my case C:\flutter) following cmd crash when using any flutter command #68820
- Open a new command prompt (cmd.exe) and try any flutter command. The command prompt will crash.
Actual results
The command prompt crashed instantly

I ran flutter in powershell and it gave me the following output :
PS C:\flutter> flutter
Error: Unable to find git in your PATH.But then I checked that my git version :
PS C:\flutter> git --version
git version 2.40.0.windows.1git and flutter are both in the path environment variable :
PS C:\flutter> where.exe flutter dart
C:\flutter\bin\flutter
C:\flutter\bin\flutter.bat
C:\flutter\bin\dart
C:\flutter\bin\dart.bat
PS C:\flutter> where.exe git
C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe
C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exeI found a solution for that. You have to add the flutter base dir to the safe directory global config in git. (thanks to stackoverflow)
C:\flutter>git config --global --add safe.directory C:/flutterThe flutter command worked after that
PS C:\flutter> flutter
