Hi, @mcquain78. That directory is created when you run netlify lm:install. Did you run that command? If not, please try doing that.

If you did already run that or if doing so doesn’t resolve the issue, what is the output of the command netlify lm:info?

Hi, @luke . After reading through this thread and changing the git-config in the helper folder, I was able to get the credential keychain working, but everytime I use a git command I see this error twice.

git: 'credential-netlify' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

Here is what I hope will be helpful terminal output from various commands based on this thread:

  ✔ Checking Git LFS version [3.0.2]
  ✔ Checking Git LFS filters

Hi, @JackB. I believe the issue in this case is that this step is being skipped:

   ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
   │                                                                        │
   │   Run this command to use Netlify Large Media in your current shell    │
   │                                                                        │
   │   source /Users/jack/Library/Preferences/netlify/helper/path.zsh.inc   │
   │                                                                        │
   └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Because that command isn’t being run, the current shell doesn’t know about the Git credential helper. Would you please test running that command and let us know if it resolves the issue or not?

Note, that line should also be added automatically by the netlify lm:install command to the file .zshrc in your home directory as well. I recommend double checking that as well to confirm it is happening.

If you still see the error, we’ll be here to keep troubleshooting.
