Where did you downloade it from? Did you tweak any files in the installation folder? "Git Bash" is basically a terminal emulator (either mintty or plain old cmd.exe -- depending on what did you select in the installer) running the bash shell in it -- a port of the shell popular in the Linux world. When starting, bash reads a couple of script files to initialize itself. Among other things, these files set up a special environment variable, PS1, whose content is evaluated each time to render the shell's prompt. Looks like it's broken in your case. > I could type commands like mkdir store or git add "filename" etc. and > the reaponse from git would be "Bash.exe"-3.1:mkdir: command not > found" External commands are looked up using the PATH environment variables. Could you copy and paste the outputs of running these three commands? mount echo $PATH echo $PS1 > And that would turn up for every command beside echo and clear. That's because these are built-ins to the bash shell itself rather than external commands. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
