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.
