Paste this in a terminal:

whereis git

or if you get 'command not found' you can try

where git

You get the path to your Git executable.

Answer 4

I have done it for Windows 7. Probably you can refer this.

1. Download the GitHub For Windows client and install it.

2. After the client successfully installed, connect it with your GitHub account. It should be easy; just follow the wizard.

3. Then you should add the git.exe location to your "path variable": Otherwise, if you don't want to add to environment variables.

You can open Android Studio and go to: menu Settings → Version Control → Git. In the text box next to "Path to Git Executable" you will see "git.exe". Just give it a full path like so: C:\Users...............\git.exe
