08/30/2022, 2:56 PMHello, I have a small problem related to where git is installed. One of my colleagues has his git executable installed under /opt/git/bin and pants complains that it can't find the git executable. The list of search paths shown on the error message doesn't contain /opt/git/bin even if set in the PATH env variable of the shell. Is there an option like [python-bootstrap].search_path for git?

08/30/2022, 3:00 PMsearch paths seems to be hard coded... https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/blob/d0ff0ac4fe05d2596dddbfe7aee95e0c1e9c2e7f/src/python/pants/core/util_rules/system_binaries.py#L691

But I am not a 100% sure....

# TODO(#14492): This should be configurable via `[system-binaries]` subsystem, likely per-binary.
SEARCH_PATHS = ("/usr/bin", "/bin", "/usr/local/bin")fast-nail-55400
08/30/2022, 3:05 PMsounds like the user has a use case that matches the TODO ... I would suggest for now that the user symlink
/usr/local/bin/git/opt/git/binr
