Git command not working in VS Code terminal/cmd/powershell

Question

I correctly installed GIT, but vs code command prompt responds:

"Git is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file."

After adding:

"git.enabled": true,
"git.path": "C:\\'Program Files'\\Git\\mingw64\\bin\\git.exe",

it still won't work. Even after closing and opening vs code.

Answer 1

If vs code doesn't close your internal command prompt and reopens with it again, you have to close the cmd manually.

Answer 2

Have you tried using escaped double-quotes in your .json file, instead of adding single-quotes, which do not exist within the path a all ?

  "git.path": "\"C:\\Program Files\\Git\\mingw64\\bin\\git.exe\"",
