How to add "Git Bash Here" to an existing git installation

Question

I don't want to lose any of my work. Is there a chance to make this the only setting?

I already checked some suggestions like registry editor:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\Background\shell

However, I don't have folder directories. My git-bash.exe file is located here:

C:\win64apps\Git

Just run the installer again and select the relevant option. I've done this many times and I've never encountered an issue. — Adam, May 16 '19 at 15:04
Where is the installer? I only see in the folder git-bash.exe — wanna-be, May 16 '19 at 15:09
do you need to login in the system with credentials when you install it again? — wanna-be, May 16 '19 at 15:11
You won't. Git Bash is a program that's installed on your system. Your git repositories are _data_ that's on your system. It's like updating an app on your phone, you don't loose all your pictures and messages etc. — Adam, May 16 '19 at 15:15
Well, it worked with the installer, thank you so much, nothing is deleted and no passwords needed! — wanna-be, May 16 '19 at 15:15

Summarising from comments;

If you run the Git Bash installer again (which you can download from here) you'll be able to select the relevant option.

Your existing repositories won't be affected. You'll just be using the latest and greatest version of Git Bash with new features and bug fixes.
