As users reported, the error "git is not recognized as an internal or external command" happens when someone tries to run a git command in Windows Command Prompt. And here are two common reasons for this problem:
- Command Prompt has already been launched during the installation of Git.
- The Git path is not configured correctly.
In the following contents, some fixes for "git is not recognized" are listed. If you are facing the same error, you can try them one by one to solve the problem.
Fix 1: Restart Command Prompt
If you have already opened Command Prompt before you install the Git for Windows, the latest variables changes might not be updated, which could be one of the reasons why you got the error message "git is not recognized". To solve the problem, you can:
Step 1: Exit Command Prompt.
Step 2: Press Win + S to open the Windows Search utility.
Step 3: Search for Command Prompt and right-click it. Then select Run as administrator.
Then you can try running a git command again and check if the error disappears. If this doesn't work, you should move on to the next solution.
Fix 2: Reinstall Git for Windows
If the Git path is not configured correctly, you could also receive the error "git is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file". You can try reinstalling Git for Windows to set the path automatically.
Step 1: Open the Search utility and search for Control Panel. Then open it.
Step 2: Select View by: Category from the upper right corner. Then select Uninstall a program.
Step 3: In the list of installed programs and features, right-click your Git for Windows and select Uninstall. Then follow the onscreen instructions to finish the operation.
