GitPython needs the`git` executable to be installed on the system and available in your`PATH` for most operations. If it is not in your`PATH`, you can help GitPython find it by setting the`GIT_PYTHON_GIT_EXECUTABLE=<path/to/git>` environment variable.

The list of dependencies are listed in /requirements.txt and /test-requirements.txt. The installer takes care of installing them for you though.

* Git (1.7.x or newer)
