github for windows - Where is git.exe located?

Question

I have PyCharm and I am looking around trying to find git.exe to set it up with my repo.

What is the PATH to git.exe?

Answer 1

If you're using GitHub for Windows, git.exe may not be in your PATH, but you may find it in a location like: C:Users<username>AppDataLocalGitHubPortableGit_<numbersandletters>ingit.exe

That's the situation for me, in Windows 7 + version 1.0 of GitHub for Windows.

In Windows 10 it appears to be in:

C:Users<username>AppDataLocalGitHubPortableGit_<numbersandletters>cmdgit.exe

( cmd versus in)

From GitHub Desktop 1.1

The UI is different and the Git path now is in:

C:Users<username>AppDataLocalGitHubDesktopapp-<appversion> esourcesappgitcmdgit.exe

PS: AppData is a hidden folder by default.
