SourceTree breaks Path variable

Question

I started using git-hooks in my project, and one of precommit-hooks uses clang-format. On commit through SourceTree it fails to find clang-format.

Error: 'clang-format' not found.

But commit works, if I do this via terminal or via terminal inside SourceTree. After adding this line to git-hook, everything works in SourceTree.

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

So looks like it doesn't work in SourceTree but I haven't found any bugreports about current version (Version 2.3.2)

Did I forget to enable some option somewhere in SourceTree or it should work by itself?

Answer 1

This is still an issue

If using a Mac opening Sourtree from terminal with

open /Applications/SourceTree.app/Contents/MacOS/SourceTree

Fixes the issue by getting the correct path

Or you can change the pre-commit script and add the path there with something like:

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
