Getting "Repositroy test has failed" error while cloning repository from Gitlab in Android Studio?

android, android-studio, gitlab, linker-errors

Solution

You need to download and install git from http://git-scm.com/downloads

Then you need to track the git.exe on AndroidStudio:

Go to Settings > Project Settings > Version Control > VCSs > Git > Path to Git executable

Select (or type) executable path, eg: `D:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd\git.exe`

If you installed GitHub Desktop for Windows

In case you have GitHub Desktop for Windows, `git.exe` will be found at `C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Local\GitHub\PortableGit_c7e0cbde92ba565zz218z5214zzz0e854zzza28\cmd`.
