If you do not copy and paste the full file path addess e.g. C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe, in the 'path to executable' field when configuring Git, it can lead to errors. Windows 8 & 10 for instance have a 'copy path' functionality which really works and helps to get full path name. Mac should have something similar. Its always best to use that rather clicking in the path address address bar and copying. This does not usually give the full file path and may cause a lot of troubles if you forget to edit the path at its destination.

Path copycopy is also very good add-on for copying full path
