Hi Sweety Kumari,


Git command line client has exited with code 128 is a generic Git error. You normally don't need to download any additional file just because of this error.


Since you're using a VDI, I would first check the following:

  1. Check Git installation – Make sure Git is installed and accessible in the VDI. You can verify this by running git --version from Command Prompt.
  2. Check repository access – Make sure you have access to the Mendix Team Server repository and that your Mendix account is properly authenticated.
  3. Check the detailed error – The important part is the Git output before/after exit code 128. It could indicate authentication, repository access, SSL/certificate, network, or a corrupted local repository issue.
  4. Check VDI network/proxy/VPN – If your organization uses a proxy or restricted network, Git may not be able to connect to the Mendix repository.
  5. Try downloading the app to a new/empty location – If the issue is related to an existing local repository, using a fresh location can help identify that.


Could you share the complete Git error message/log, rather than only exit code 128? That will help identify the exact cause.


Also, since this is a VDI, it may be worth checking with your IT team whether Git is installed and whether Git traffic to the required Mendix services is allowed.


Kindly mark this as the accepted answer if it helps.

Hi Sweety,

Since you're using Studio Pro 11.12 on a VDI, one additional thing to check is whether your organization has installed Git and configured the required permissions for VDI users.

I've seen Git error 128 occur in the following cases:

  • Git is not installed or not available in the system PATH.
  • The VDI user does not have write permissions to the project directory.
  • Corporate proxy/firewall blocks access to Mendix Team Server.
  • SSL certificates are missing or not trusted on the VDI image.
  • The local repository cache is corrupted.

Could you check:

git --version

and also try cloning/downloading the app into a different local folder where you have full permissions?

Additionally, please share the complete Studio Pro log around the error. "Git exited with code 128" is only the final error code, while the actual root cause is usually mentioned a few lines above it.

If this is a newly provisioned VDI, I'd also recommend confirming with your IT team that Git access and Mendix repository endpoints are allowed.

Sharing the detailed log will help pinpoint the exact issue.
