el-get Basic Setup (https://github.com/dimitri/el-get) : error: Unable to find 'git'

Question

Start Emacs from gitbash (MINGW64)

Snippet below is loaded automatically:

; add el-get to the load path, and install it if it doesn't exist
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/el-get/el-get")
(unless (require 'el-get nil 'noerror)
  (with-current-buffer
      (url-retrieve-synchronously
       "https://raw.github.com/dimitri/el-get/master/el-get-install.el")
    (goto-char (point-max))
    (eval-print-last-sexp)))

Error:

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading 'c:/Users/user/.emacs':
error: Unable to find 'git'

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the cause of the error in your initialization file. Start Emacs with the '--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.

; add el-get to the load path, and install it if it doesn't exist (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/el-get/el-get") (unless (require 'el-get nil 'noerror) (with-current-buffer (url-retrieve-synchronously "https://raw.github.com/dimitri/el-get/master/el-get-install.el") (goto-char (point-max)) (eval-print-last-sexp)))

Environments and settings:

• Windows 10
• Git installed (git version 2.14.1.windows.1)
• Git installation path(C:\Program Files\Git\cmb) is added to Environment path variable.
• HOMEPATH: c:/Users/user
• emacs version: GNU Emacs 26.1 (build 1, x86 64-w64-mingw32) of 2018-05-30

git can not be found even though it's installed. How can I configure Git set-up properly?

Answer 1

fixed by also adding the (setq exec-path (cons "C:/Program Files/Git/bin/" exec-path)) to another file (el-get-settings) where the snippet is actually in.

Cloning into 'el-get'...
POST git-upload-pack (837 bytes)

Congrats, el-get is installed and ready to serve!nil

Thanks to these two posts - very helpful.
