I have created a small executable file (git-test) and placed it under C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin path.
I have also added the above path in the Path environment variable. When I run git test on bash it gives me below error.
git: 'test' is not a git command. See 'git --help'
Is there anything I am missing here or anywhere I need to paste the file.
My bad!!! While creating the file I forgot to mention the #!/bin/sh as first line. When I added this line in my git-test file I was able to run the file from git bash using the command git test.
Git does not have a test command.
If you want to set your own git command you should set git alias.
Gti aliases can be simple commands. multiple commands and even executing a script file.
For example you can see here few simple aliases + some complex ones.
Take a look on the l alias. Its alias for a bash script in unix.
In your case create an alias for your test script in the same way.
git test is not a command that git knows, as it's telling you by hinting at the available commands listed by running git --help.
To execute that command, type: git-test because that's the full command name.
git-<custom-name> and call from git bash with command git custom-name. I took the example of git flow commands, where I am having all git flow files in C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin (e.g. git-flow) and I can execute the script from git bash using the command git flow.
git-<custom-name>and tried to access it using git bash. (like the way git flow command works)
