I prefer, putting git in environment variable and just calling

• Choose Properties from the context menu.
• Click the Advanced system settings link.
• Click Environment Variables.

• In the section User variables, hit button NEW, put variable name as GIT_HOME, value as (folder-where-you-installed-git).

  • for me it is was c:\tools\git, others maybe have C:\Program Files\Git

• find the PATH environment variable and select it. Click Edit. (If the PATH environment variable does not exist, click New).

• In the Edit window, add a new value %GIT_HOME% and %GIT_HOME%\bin. Click OK. Close all remaining windows by clicking OK.

• open new Command prompt, and just type sh or bash or git-bash
