I have an installation of Git for Windows, but when I try to use the git
command in Command Prompt, I get the following error:
'git' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
How do I fix this problem?
Have you correctly set your PATH
to point at your Git installation?
You need to add the following paths to PATH
:
C:\Program Files\Git\bin\
C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\
And check that these paths are correct – you may have Git installed on a different drive, or under Program Files (x86)
. Correct the paths if necessary.
Modifying PATH
on Windows 10:
C:\Program Files\Git\bin\
and C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\
to the end of the list.Modifying PATH
on Windows 7:
;
if there is not already one, and then C:\Program Files\Git\bin\;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\
. Do not put a space between ;
and the entry.If these instructions weren't helpful, feel free to look at some others:
