Fundamental local Git not working.

    For reasons beyond the scope of this discussion thread, I have found the need to install git locally on my work windows 10 computer. But from the command line, the basic commands are not recognized. For example:

    `git config`

    gets the response:

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

    ```

    Can anyone please offer suggestions or next steps I should try?

    I will add that once thing I noticed was that, after I ran the git installer, it did not make an icon to Git Bash and, if memory serves me, this was the command line app to use.

    Make sure that the Git executable path is added to the system PATH variable. Try restarting your computer after installing Git to ensure the changes take effect. You can try using Git Bash directly by locating the executable in the Git installation folder or reinstalling Git to ensure all components are properly installed.
