I'm trying to clone a project of Github into Visual Studio, so I go to New Terminal and type:

git clone [CLONE WITH SSH LINK]

and it shows:

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.

However I have already installed the Git and Git is set to Enabled at Visual Studio settings.

So I don't know why this error occurs, so can you help me out please?

And would you please tell me how to set/change path of Git in Visual Studio...

REINSTALL GIT, REOPEN EDITOR Solved same problem by reinstalling GIT. And Refresh npm. Than closed editor and reopened it

Reason behind is that you might not added the Path variable. So here is steps for that Go to Environment Variable Click on to the Path variable Edit and added it to the path given below:

C:\Program Files\Git\bin

C:\Program Files\Git\cmd

Click Ok and close your terminal & now open the terminal and check the command your are looking for ie git --version It gives you version have installed
