`matlab.gi​t.GitRepos​itory` not existing in Matlab

Hello. I cannot seem to make use of matlab.git.GitRepository in Matlab like this tutorial: https://nl.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/matlab.git.gitrepository.html#mw_y776deag7h39o0u90p3305-e993-4702-b2b9-f53c6304f8ab_vh

matlab.git.GitRepository is not recognized and I am getting the following error: Unable to resolve the name 'matlab.git.GitRepository'.

I was using an outdated version of Matlab R2022b instead of R2023b

Hi Chandler,

The matlab.git.GitRepository object is designed to represent the currently active local Git repository. This functionality was introduced in MATLAB version R2023b. Consequently, attempting to use it in MATLAB version R2022b results in the error "Unable to resolve the name 'matlab.git.GitRepository'" because this feature is not available in earlier versions.

Please check the "version history" section in below documentation: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/matlab.git.gitrepository.html#mw_y776deag7h39o0u90p3305-e993-4702-b2b9-f53c6304f8ab_vh

I hope it helps!
