Git executable - Where is git.exe located?
I have PyCharm and I am looking around trying to find git.exe to set it up with my repo.
What is the PATH to git.exe?
Git executable can be found by using running git --exec-path, which usually lives in the Git execution path. where git.exe will give you the path.
But for Linux, the path is /user/libexec/git-core
Note: If git foo is not a built-in command then the command will first search for the git-foo commands in the git exec path, then in the rest of your $path

The location of the git.exe executable depends on how Git was installed on your system and the operating system you are using.
If you installed Git using the official Git for Windows installer, the git.exe executable is typically located in the bin directory within the Git installation directory. By default, this directory is C:Program FilesGitin or C:Program FilesGitcmd.
If you installed Git via a package manager such as Chocolatey, it may be located in a different directory.
echo %PATH%]Look for a directory containing git.exe.
- If you installed Git using Homebrew, the git.exe equivalent (git) is typically installed in /usr/local/bin.
- If you installed Git using the official Git installer, it may be located in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin.
- You can also use the which command in the terminal to find the location of git
which git
If you installed Git using a package manager (e.g., apt, yum), the git.exe equivalent (git) is typically installed in a standard system bin directory such as /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin.
You can use the which command to find the location of git:
which git
These are common locations where the git.exe or git executable is found, but it may vary depending on your specific setup. If you're unable to locate git.exe, you can search your system for the executable using your operating system's search functionality.
