fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating settings 'glide-master'.

* Where:
Settings file '/Users/MyComputer/Downloads/glide-master/settings.gradle' line: 1

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating settings 'glide-master'.

what does the error mean? I have build using Gradle.it is because of version problem on Android studio?

I don't know the root cause, but it appears that a Gradle task is running some Git process, but it is running it from a directory outside the location of your Git repository. — Tim Biegeleisen, Jan 27 '16 at 05:56
Post your settings.gradle. The log talks about a git command. It is strange — Gabriele Mariotti, Jan 27 '16 at 07:47

Same error occurred for me also.

In build.gradle previous code like

exec {
        commandLine 'git', 'describe', '--tags'
    }

then I added 'cmd' before 'git'

and that error gone.

below is code after adding the code

exec {
        commandLine 'cmd', 'git', 'describe', '--tags'

    }

exec {
    commandLine "git", "submodule", "update", "--init", "--recursive"
}

Then I added cmd before git.

and that error gone.

exec {
    commandLine "cmd","git", "submodule", "update", "--init", "--recursive"
}

This may or may not work on Windows, but the OP uses Unix paths in his question, so this answer is unlikely to work for her or him. – Robert Aug 02 '18 at 04:16

This happen if git not configured properly with the Android Studio project.
And nobody seems experienced this before. Because I google thousand times and solutions not work.

What is just work for me:

Solution for Gradle Build Android Studio Project
Clone the project from git. Or Upload your project to git and clone Fresh in empty folder of your PC. (This is for configure git properly, other way did not work properly to my project)
Delete if any .idea folder exists.
Open as existing Android Studio project.
Let it roll. If it require any dependency, continue with that.

new ByteArrayOutputStream().withStream { os ->
    def result = exec {
        executable = 'git'
        args = ['log', '-1', '--pretty=format:%ct']
        standardOutput = os
    }

    return os.toString() + "000"
}

Change to the following code

new ByteArrayOutputStream().withStream { os ->
    def result = exec {
        executable = 'cmd'
        args = ['log', '-1', '--pretty=format:%ct']
        standardOutput = os
    }

    return os.toString() + "000"
}

In MAC OS redownload command-line tools and make sure that it is assigned to path.

A easy fix is to install Xcode and run a demo project. This sets up the dependencies properly.

the process is executing in the gradle's own directory (~/.gradle/x.y.z)

use cmd.execute([], project.projectDir) with arguments

In my case when I checked git status I got the following output:

fatal: unsafe repository ('/home/Documents/Examples/Example.App' is owned by someone else)
To add an exception for this directory, call:

git config --global --add safe.directory /home/Documents/Examples/Example.App

which I did and it worked :) (the path is just an example, but you will get your full path of the project)

In Android Studio, File > New > Project from Version Control.
Use your url as URL, click the clone button.
