"'git' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

Question

Env Detail: Angular CLI: 6.1.3 Node: 8.11.3 npm version: 5.6.0

When I am trying to create an Angular project by executing ng new Project-name I am getting

'git' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

instead of 'project name successfully created'

Solution

1. Check whether GIT is installed on your system. If not installed then install Git by downloading from below URL and install

https://git-scm.com/

2. Close your command prompt or visual studio code or any editor you are using and reopen it.
3. Create new angular application and it will work as expected.

@FaiyazSayeed try uninstalling Git and reinstalling it. I recall it had an option in the installation process to add it to PATH.

Why would GIT be required to create a new app?
