No such file or directory - git ls-files — WINDOWS

Question

I am trying to find a way to add Git to the Windows path. Whenever I try to run RakeFiles from either JetBrains' neat IDE, RubyMine or from GitBash itself, I get the error that this title is posted under:

 No such file or directory - git ls-files

According to a fellow developer, I need to add Git to my windows path. I haven't been able to find how to remedy this error for anything BUT Macs. Is there anyone who can help me figure out how to fix this with Windows?

Answer 1

1. Right-click "My computer" and choose Properties
2. Click Advanced system settings
3. Click on Environment Variables, under System Variables, find PATH, and add the directory where git.exe is located. Directories are separated with semicolons.

The funny thing is, that this simple operation is very uncomfortable, especially when your PATH is long and people created tools, only to edit system path.
