title: git and system variables on Windows
body: <p>I'm getting the infamous "'git' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" after installing msysgit for Windows.</p>
  
  <p>This is not the first time something like this happens; it happened when I tried to set up Python, too, but back then, I found the relevant directory to point my <code>python</code> system variable to, after which it worked.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried different git directories, but I haven't had any luck setting up a system variable for <code>git</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know the location of the directory I have to point Windows to in order to understand the <code>git</code> system variable in the command prompt?</p>
