if you haven't solved the problem yet, try adding an alias to your adb.exe place yourself in the git $home folder

cd $home

if you haven't created the .bashrc file yet Execute

touch .bahsrc

thereupon

vi .bashrc

add the following line to the file

alias adb='/c/adb/platform-tools/adb.exe'

*note: this path is relative, it depends on where you unzipped the .zip from adb and save the changes made in vi with ESC then :wq!

For a standard AndroidStudio install on Windows: `alias adb='C:\\Users\\[username]\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\Sdk\\platform-tools\\adb.exe'` – Pedro Gonzalez Oct 25 '19 at 11:25

It's works my windows machine. Run the following command on your windows bash profile terminal

echo export "PATH=~/AppData/Local/Android/Sdk/platform-tools:$PATH" >> ~/.bash_profile

Restart your Terminal session

source ~/.bash_profile
