I'm trying to initialize Git in Visual Studio Code, but it is giving me errors. I already have it included in my path.

git : The term 'git' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script
file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was
included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

    Go to Settings and search for "path". It will give you an option under "Git" to set the path to the executable. In the `settings.json`, the key is `"git.path": ""`. – Daniel W. Sep 29 '21 at 11:38
  • "*I already have it included in my path.*" Which path and what exactly did you put in the path? Does the `git` command work _outside_ of VS Code? – Gino Mempin Oct 03 '21 at 03:16

If you already have Git/cmd PATH included in environment variables, Restart Visual Studio Code

Or...

Append Git/cmd to PATH in environment variables

C:\Program Files\Git\cmd
