Answer 1

check your path is set correctly at the time of git installation and You need to add the following paths to PATH:

C:\Program Files\Git\bin\

C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\

And check that these paths are correct or not, you may have Git installed on a different drive, or under Program Files (x86). Correct the paths if necessary.
