git is not recognized as an internal or external command windows - already tried to change the environment variable

Question

I got the following error, git is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I read in some forums that i need to add the /bin & /cmd paths to 'System variable' I've done that but am still running into the same error. Already restarted by computer. Ideas?

Answer 1

Had same issue , I had setup the environment variables but still was not able to use git from command window . Finally it worked when I added the path variable value to

C:Program FilesGitcmd 

instead of

C:Program FilesGitcmd  

This will also be populated automatically if you select the option of use GIT from command prompt as shown below during your installation process .enter image description here
