Control Panel -> System & Security -> System -> Advanced System Settings (Slide menu) -> Click Environment Variable Button

2nd Check if C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\loca is exist

NOTE: For more easy way copy path and paste it in a text editor. Variables Paths demarcation with ";".

Open the file explorer.
Right click on "My Computer" or "This PC" and select "Properties" option.
A window will open which will show Information about your Computer.
In this window, on the left hand side menu select the option "Advanced system settings".
Another window would open, in which make sure you are in "Advanced" tab and select "Environment Variables" button at the button right of the window.
In the "System variables" section, you will see a variable "Path", click on it and click on "Edit" button.
In the new pop up, click on "Add" button, enter the path you want to add and click "Ok".
