Recently IIRC, there was a similar problem discussed somewhere in the github issues. When installing Git for Windows installer offers a checkbox to install it only in git-bash windows or to install it system wide and the default is git-bash only. With such installation git.exe is not on the system path and Leo can't run git to check the version and branch, so it reports hard coded version information.
To check whether this is the problem one can start cmd.exe and try to run `git.exe --version`. If git is not installed on system path, an error will be reported in which case Leo won't be able to report correct version. Perhaps Leo should warn user if the git.exe is not found on the system path. Vitalije On Sunday, August 4, 2019 at 8:51:17 PM UTC+2, Rob wrote: > > One mystery solved, another one discovered.
