Uh hello guys, welcome to this video. So
0:02
in this video, I'll show you how to
0:03
locate and check the version of git bash
0:06
that is you are using it inside your
0:09
terminal. So git is a very important
0:12
tool when it comes to development. It
0:14
can push your code into GitHub and other
0:18
uh code repositories. So you simply
0:20
write git and to check the version you
0:22
simply write d- version. So it will
0:26
print out the version that you have
0:27
installed. Here you can see that get
0:29
version 2.4.0.0
0:32
Windows I'm running on it on Windows
0:35
that's fine.
0:36
And now to check the location where it
0:38
is installed you can execute a simple
0:41
command here where git. So this will
0:44
exactly tell you the exact location
0:46
where g is stored inside your machine.
0:48
If you enter it you it will give you the
0:50
entire address here. So it is located
0:52
inside c program files git cmd and then
0:56
this is your executable. So you can
0:58

1:00
location and simply go to the file

1:11
program files git and cmd. This is a

1:24
