Git Bash no longer recognizes git commands, as well as some commands like ls and env. I've checked that the following paths were set up in my environment variables and I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling git.

Paths that are present:

C:\Program Files\Git\bin

C:\Program Files\Git\cmd

I would like to note that I am only having this issue with Git Bash. I've tried using git commands through Command Prompt, and everything seems to work there.

What does `echo $PATH` print in git-bash? Are these paths in the output? – ElpieKay Feb 10 '21 at 02:14
it show $HOME/.local/bin:C:UsersiserrAppDataRoaminglocalbin – Irene Serrano Feb 10 '21 at 02:22

Edit `~/.bashrc` in git-bash and append `export PATH=$PATH:/c/Program\ Files/Git/bin:/c/Program\ Files/Git/cmd`. Reopen git-bash and try `git`, `ls` and `env`. – ElpieKay Feb 10 '21 at 02:24
all of the git commands work! but ls and env are still a no go – Irene Serrano Feb 10 '21 at 02:38

Try `export PATH=$PATH:/c/Program\ Files/Git/bin:/c/Program\ Files/Git/cmd:/c/Programe\ Files/Git/usr/bin`. Maybe just use `export PATH=$PATH:/c/Program\ Files/Git`. – ElpieKay Feb 10 '21 at 02:41
everything works now! Thank you!! – Irene Serrano Feb 10 '21 at 02:58
