Use Git binary for trickier ops
Improvement
libgit2 isn’t good at doing things like respecting complex global Git or SSH configs. Yaak should rely on the host’s git installation for things like pushing, cloning, and committing.
This is what apps like IntelliJ do for their Git support.
I would love to see this implemented. I am currently hitting issues with Yaak not respecting my git config and committing changes with the wrong email set.

I have just retested this with 2025.9.0-beta.7. Yaak is now reading my git config and creating commits with the proper email. Thanks!
Awesome, thanks for confirming it’s now working!
