How can I update python on Git Bash?

Question

I'm having trouble updating python on Git Bash when I run python --version on git bash it still shows me 2.7 The thing is that when I run python --version in the anaconda prompt it shows me the updated version 3.7.3 How can I make it so that when I run python --version on Git Bash it will show me the latest version

Thanks!

You can't, or rather you really shouldn't. Linux subsystems expect python to resolve to Python2, and since Git Bash is (very shallowly) emulating a Linux machine under the hood of its bash shell, it would be a Very Bad Idea to change that expectation.

However, python3 should launch your Python 3 interpreter.
