deploy with gh-pages error cannot spawn sh: No such file or directory

[idanlo]

when deploying to github pages using gh-pages i get this error:

error: cannot spawn sh: No such file or directory
fatal: unable to fork

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! sdarot@0.1.0 deploy: `gh-pages -d build`
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the sdarot@0.1.0 deploy script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

there is a homepage property in my package.json file and i have the scripts:

"predeploy": "npm run build",
"deploy": "gh-pages -d build"

npm version - 6.1.0
create-react-app version - 1.5.2
node version - 8.11.3
react-scripts version - 1.1.4

had same problem on Visual Studio Code:
Version: 1.25.1

Chrome: 58.0.3029.110
Node.js: 7.9.0
V8: 5.8.283.38
Architecture: x64

somehow it happend few days ago after i updated my npm(something like that):
npm install npm@latest -g

after that when i try to deploy my react build to gh-pages:
npm run deploy

i got an error:
gh-pages -d build

error: cannot spawn sh: No such file or directory
fatal: unable to fork
...

my solution:

open VSCode settings and add this:
{
"git.path": "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe",
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe"
}

by default git.path was set to null.
about sh path i read some ideas here:

Closing as stale. Please open a new issue if there's still a problem.

when i write
{
"git.path": "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe",
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe"
}
in vscode settings it gives error saying Invalid escape character in string.
pls any help.

@MRGHOSJ Use escape character E.g. - C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\git.exe
