'git' is not recognized as an internal or external command

[roxwize]

• Node.js Version: 8.4.0
• OS: windows
• Scope (install, code, runtime, meta, other?):install

one of the most annoying errors:

C:\Users\Truth Media Justin\my-first-package>git clone https://github.com/LFeh/piano-keyboard.git 'git' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

see, im having a problem with "git clone" and i have a package ready and all, but how do i make it actually work?

Have you downloaded and installed git? https://git-scm.com/download/win

You need to make sure git.exe is on the path, check with:

where git

I downloaded and installed the git but still iam having same problem.
how can I fix that

[tniessen]

@rohithreddybc You most likely did not add Git to your PATH environment variable. If you installed Git via the link above with default options, you should be able to use git from the command line. If it does not work, try running the command from within the Git Bash.

@tniessen As I am beginer I don't know how to run the command from within the Git Bash.can u help me?

[tniessen]

@rohithreddybc What exactly are you trying to do? Is this related to node in any way?

1. Open Git Bash which should have been installed along with Git if you downloaded the correct installer.
2. Type the command you want to run, it should start with git.
3. Press enter.

@tniessen I can't abel to install browser-sync . How can I install browser-sync in git bash by using this command ["npm install -g browser-sync" ].

[tniessen]

I wouldn't use git bash for anything except git, if you properly installed node, you should be able to run that command from a normal windows command prompt (cmd.exe).
