title: Git: Installing Git in PATH with GitHub client for Windows
body: <p>How do I install Git in my <code>PATH</code> when using the GitHub client for Windows?</p>
  
  <p>I'm running into errors because apparently Git is not installed in PATH. For example, using Atom, trying to install the Linter plugin gives this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>npm ERR! not found: git
  npm ERR! 
  npm ERR! Failed using git.
  npm ERR! This is most likely not a problem with npm itself.
  npm ERR! Please check if you have git installed and in your PATH.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does GitHub for Windows install Git when it installs? (It must, otherwise how does it use Git?) I don't want to double-install it... so how do I just add the Git that's already there to PATH?</p>
