Adding Git to Windows 7/8/8.1 Path
Note: You must have msysgit installed on your machine. Also, the path to my Git installation is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git". Yours might be different. Please check where yours is before continuing.
Open the Windows Environment Variables/Path Window.
- Right-click on My Computer -> Properties
- Click Advanced System Settings link from the left side column
- Click Environment Variables in the bottom of the window
- Then under System Variables look for the path variable and click edit
-
Add the pwd to Git's binary and cmd at the end of the string like this:
;%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Git\bin;%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Git\cmd
Now test it out in PowerShell. Type and see if it recognizes the command.git
