git-bash $PATH cannot parse windows directory with space

Question

I would like to use git-bash come with github client on a windows 7 (32bit) machine. Somehow, the git-bash has already learned the $PATH variables from windows

Answer 1

git-bash runs in a Linux environment. As, linux doesn't recognize \ backslash in its directory path, you need to use / forwardslash. Use "" if you directory path contains spaces.
