Did you put the path?
If you have GitHub for Windows (before version 1.1), your path should be:
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\GitHub\PortableGit_\cmd
After confirming and copying your path, do the following:
-Right click on My Computer or This PC
-Click on Properties
-Click on Advanced system settings
-Click on Environment Variables under the Advanced tab
-Add your path with ; before it in the variable Path
-Press Ok
-Use a new terminal

My one is the latest verison of github. I just downloaded and installed it, 2.17 I guess. Should the path still be the same? And where should I add this path? File >> Local repository? Or File >> New repository?

your path should be something like this C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\

I have been able to add the path to the path variables, and checked it with
git --version. But while pip installing the code from the original post, it is showing the following error Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\mrahman\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-j_5r5727-build Storing debug log for failure in C:\Users\mrahman\pip\pip.logbembas
maybe your pip command isnt upgrade try --> python -m pip install --upgrade pip --> pip install "package-name" if you are up to date and you still have problem try sudo ---> pip3 install git+github.com/donnemartin/gitsome.git Solve my issue (I have both python versions installed).
Please add [Git Installed Directory]/usr/bin and [Git Installed Directory]/bin
to your PATH environment variable in Windows 10.
