Statamic does not find git binary

[morhi]

Bug Description

I have installed Statamic in a shared hosting package with Git installed, which works as usual by typing git in the Shell. However when Git is enabled in Statamic I get the error git: not found.

How to Reproduce

I cannot really say how to reproduce, because it seems to be an environment specific issue with this shared hosting. The PHP process runs with the same user as the shell user, which has a working git command. However, setting an absolute path to the binary (like /usr/local/bin/git) in the Statamic Core (Git.php) helps to fix this problem.

Extra Detail

production.ERROR: The provided cwd "exec: git: not found/" does not exist. {"userId":"0000","exception":"[object] (Symfony\\Component\\Process\\Exception\\RuntimeException(code: 0): The provided cwd \"exec: git: not found/\" does not exist. at vendor/symfony/process/Process.php:344)

Environment

Statamic 3.0.46 Pro
Laravel 8.32.1
PHP 7.4.16

Install method (choose one):

• Fresh install from statamic/statamic

Solved by #3393.

This fix (#3393) doesn't seem to work in nix environments. In order to get things working with my git flake, I had to update the default git commands to include the git binary config.

Without these changes, I get

[2024-03-20 15:58:47] local.ERROR: Process Class: Git
Command: git add /home/spencer/github.com/cyberspace-place/content /home/spencer/github.com/cyberspace-place/users /home/spencer/github.com/cyberspace-place/resources/blueprints /home/spencer/github.com/cyberspace-place/resources/users /home/spencer/github.com/cyberspace-place/resources/preferences.yaml /home/spencer/github.com/cyberspace-place/public/assets

P.S. It should be noted that commands like php please git:commit worked fine, but making edits through the Control Panel did not.

Example (Removing some fields for brevity):

// config/statamic/git.php

$binary = env('STATAMIC_GIT_BINARY', 'git');
