What's Wrong?

Claude Code incorrectly displays "Anthropic marketplace requires git · Install git and restart" error message in the UI when:

  • Git is already installed and functional on the system
  • The Anthropic marketplace plugin is already installed
  • The plugin is currently in use
  • This appears to be a false positive git detection error in the marketplace dependency validation system.

Environment:

Claude Code Version: 2.1.3 (Claude Code)
Operating System: Linux (Debian 12.12)
Git Version: 2.39.5

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should detect the installed git and not display the false error message.
