Trying to initialize a git repository using java git library

Question

I'm trying to create a directory and initialize it as a git repository using javagit library. Below is the code snippet that i'm using:

repositoryDirectory = FileUtilities.createTempDirectory("C:/Madhu/ReleaseManagerRepo/Demo_gitRepository");
System.out.println("Git Repository Location : " + repositoryDirectory.getAbsolutePath());
//get the instance of the dotGit Object
dotGit = DotGit.getInstance(repositoryDirectory);
System.out.println("DotGit==========="+dotGit.toString());
//Initialize the repository ,similar to git init
dotGit.init();

I can see that the directory is created. After the dotGit.init() is executed, i don't see a .git (which i get when i run the command git init from command line.) directory under the directory specified in the code.

My second question is i'm trying to create a file from my code and want to add it to the git repository. Below is the code snippet for the same:

File file = FileUtilities.createFile(repositoryDirectory, "README", "First file in the git repository");

//get the current working tree from the git repository
WorkingTree wt = dotGit.getWorkingTree();
GitAddResponse ar = wt.add();
wt.commitAll("First commit to the git repository");

I'm getting an exception as below:

Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: 020100: Unable to start sub-process.

I have added the git/bin to my Path environment variable. But i still see the same exception. I'm not sure if i'm missing on anything else.

Could you please suggest.

Dead posting but I've just solved the same problem by adding git path to the system environment variables - article
