Whenever I run the flutter or dart commands on the command line or PowerShell I get "Error: Unable to find Git in your PATH".

I've already tried to the solutions from other suggestions like making sure the PATH contains:

  1. C:\Windows\System32
  2. C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0
  3. C:\Program Files\Git\bin and/or C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe
  4. C:\Program Files\Git\cmd
  5. C:\src\flutter\bin

I reinstalled flutter and still does the same.

I reinstalled Git and tried it on the command line and Git works.

I'm using VS Code and Windows 11, any suggestions?

    C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe PATH must be a list of directories, not files! Commented Apr 1, 2023 at 14:49

    @phd Yes, I know the PATH is an environment variable which contains a string of text holding a list of directories separated by semicolons and are not files, however I wanted to try C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe because I've seen it like that in other suggestions, I did get rid of it afterwards.

  • What does Get-Command git -All report in your VS Code PowerShell session? Does $env:Path report a different value than path in cmd.exe? Commented Apr 1, 2023 at 20:30
  • @mklement0 Check the image I added, you'll see to see the response to your questions... $env:Path and %path% have the same value. Commented Apr 2, 2023 at 19:56

I had this problem. Adding paths to Path(System variables):

C:\Program Files\Git\bin
C:\Program Files\Git\cmd
C:\src\flutter\bin

helped solve the problem.

-> Also, try rebooting the computer for the changes to take effect

-> Run cmd/PowerShell/Android Studio as administrator

Moreover, I use the git portable version.

@Ruble I've already added the paths to PATH... I use VS Code... I'm running the flutter and dart commands from VS Code and from the command line and/or powershell... I rebooted the computer and still get the error... You use the portable version of what?
@phd Yes, I know the PATH holds a list of directories not files.
It was meant that the git is installed portable...
