When you install python for windows  there is an option to include it in the path  For python 2 this is not the default  It adds the python installation folder and script folder to the Windows path  When starting the GIT Bash command prompt  it have included it in the linux PATH variable    If you start the python installation again  you should select the option Change python and in the next step you can  Add python exe to Path   Next time you open GIT Bash  the path is correct

That command did not work for me  I used     export PATH   PATH  c Python27    Then to make sure that git remembers the python path every time you open git type the following   echo  export PATH   PATH  c Python27    gt   profile

Here is the SOLUTION   If you get Response     bash  python  command not found OR bash  conda  command not found   To the following Commands  when you execute python or python -V conda or conda --version in your Git Terminal window  Background  This is because you either    Installed Python in a location on your C Drive  C   which is not directly in your program files folder   Installed Python maybe on the D Drive  D   and your computer by     default searches for it on your C   You have been told to go to your environment variables  located if you do a search for environment variables on your machines start menu  and change the  Path  variable on your computer and this still does not fix the problem    Solution    At the command prompt  paste this command export PATH   PATH  c Python36   That will tell Windows where to find Python   This assumes that you installed it in C  Python36  If you installed python on your D drive  paste this command export PATH   PATH  d Python36   Then at the command prompt  paste python or python -V and you will see the version of Python installed and now you should not get Python 3 6 5 Assuming that it worked correctly you will want to set up git bash so that it always knows where to find python  To do that  enter the following command  echo  export PATH   PATH  d Python36    gt   bashrc   Permanent Solution   Go to BASH RC Source File  located on C    C Drive in    C  Users myname     Make sure your BASH RC Source File is receiving direction from your Bash Profile Source File  you can do this by making sure that your BASH RC Source File contains this line of code   source    bash profile Go to BASH Profile Source File  located on C    C Drive in    C  Users myname     Enter line  export PATH   PATH  D PROGRAMMING Applications PYTHON Python365   assuming this is the location where Python version 3 6 5 is installed  This should take care of the problem permanently   Now whenever you open your Git Bash Terminal Prompt and enter    python    or    python -V    it should return the python version
