But I have to question why you need that path. > What I'm looking for is git.exe itself. If I run "git --exec-path" I get something along the lines "git executable not found..." I don't use dashed command inside qgit, so I run "git log ..." not "git-log ...", but the git.exe should be known to qgit or in path. Hope it's clear.
