I am using the latest version of Git in bash and I am trying to execute basic commands e.g php. I have set the environment variable to C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.5.12 in Path.

However when I execute these basic commands nothing comes up, not even sh.exe: command not found. If you have any suggestions please let me know.

  • What does your PATH environment variable looks like from inside mingw?. You might want to launch it again after having modify the path from your control panel Commented Aug 17, 2015 at 0:43

You have to add an environment variable for php. Generally can I say: Gitbash have to know where your command is installed. For php, see below:

  • Right click My Computer
  • click Properties
  • go to Advanced System Settings left navigation
  • click on Environment Variables... button
  • go to System Variables below
  • select Path, click Edit and in the beginning of the path enter: C:\PathToYourPhpDir\bin; (Please note that in here you should indicate the php executable path. In case you installed php via e.g. the Windows installer).
