How do I check my git version?

Check your version of Git You can check your current version of Git by running the git --version command in a terminal (Linux, macOS) or command prompt (Windows). If you don't see a supported version of Git, you'll need to either upgrade Git or perform a fresh install, as described below.

How can I tell if a file is 32-bit?

Just run it and have a look at the Processes tab in Windows Task Manager. If there is a *32 suffix after the process name, it's 32-bit, otherwise it's 64-bit (provided you're on a 64-bit OS).

How do I know if I have x86 or X64?

In the right pane, look at the System Type entry. For a 32-bit version operating system, it will say X86-based PC. For a 64-bit version, you'll see X64-based PC.

I appreciate this is old, but I got frustrated trying to find the answer and then worked it out myself. It's very very simple if you use the default install location.

If your install is in C:\Program Files\Git, it's 64-bit. If it's in C:\Program Files (x86)\Git it's 32-bit.
