Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A user encounters an Errno::ENOENT error when running Shopify CLI commands on Windows with Ruby 3.0. The error trace indicates the system cannot find Git (No such file or directory - git), which is required by the Shopify CLI.

Root Cause:
The Shopify CLI is attempting to execute Git commands, but Git is either not installed or not accessible in the system PATH.

Proposed Solution:
Another Windows user reported resolving a similar issue by:

  • Uninstalling all Ruby installations
  • Reinstalling Ruby using winget install RubyInstallerTeam.RubyWithDevKit
  • Following the official Ruby installation documentation

Status:
The discussion remains open with limited detail on whether installing Git separately (in addition to Ruby reinstallation) is necessary. The corrupted/reversed text in some posts suggests formatting issues that may obscure additional troubleshooting steps.
