Visual Studio Code in openSuse can't find Git

Question

Steps followed:

Git is installed in /usr/bin/git, and
I've changed the git.path variable to "/usr/bin/git"

However: Visual Studio Code still can't find Git and activate source control.

I'm running OpenSuse Leap, fully up to date as of today 29/12/18.

What are the steps you have followed ?

The git.path setting should be:

/usr/bin/git

Not /usr/bin.git

Make sure /usr/bin/git is an executable file (not a folder)

Sorry, just made an edit, I mistyped that in the summary - I meant /usr/bin/git

I understand. Still, the rest of the answer applies.

Sorted it. It was working as expected, just needed to initialise a repository in a project folder to get VS Code to recognise source control was working.
