git is not recognized as an internal or external command

Question

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?

Answer 1

Add the following paths to PATH:

• C:\Program Files\Git\bin\
• C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\

Then check whether the paths are correct or not.

Modifying PATH on Windows 10:

• Search > environment variable > Edit the system environment variables.
• Then click on the Environment Variables. 
• Click on Path under System variables.
• Add C:\Program Files\Git\bin\ and C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\ to the end of the list.
• Close the console and then re-open it
