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

Basically to confirm what is working: For environment variables use export keyword:

export JAVA_HOME="/c/Program Files/Java/jdkxxxxx"

same for PATH variable etc.

You can put it in your ~/.bashrc . Then, use variables instead of direct string with spaces
