Appears to have moved again in the latest version of GH for windows to:

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\GitHubDesktop\app-[gfw-version]\resources\app\git\cmd\git.exe

Given it now has the version in the folder structure i think it will move every time it auto-updates. This makes it impossible to put into path. I think the best option is to install git separately.

Just to add to a couple of answers already here   On Windows  you can use the built in  where  instead of  which   which is for Linux   So  where git will tell you the location of git assuming that it is in the system path   If it is not in the system path  and you want a native  no downloads or installations   reasonable time command to find it  use dir  s git exe
