How to properly set PHP environment variable to run commands in Git Bash

Question

There are a few similar questions as this throughout the site, but none of them are giving me the answer I\'m looking for.

What I\'m trying to do is install Composer

Answer 1

If you're in git bash, just type PATH="path to php goes here"

It might be useful to copy the existing path and modify it, so you don't lose other useful paths. Type in export to see the path.

The new path is only valid for the session.
