git.exe has been suddenly gone on Windows
exe, git, window
Solution
If Git is still available from the command line, then the binary is still around. Have you tried locating it with a search (with bash you could use `$ which git` to tell you the location. Don't know an equivalent for the Windows command line though)? When you find it, you could try to copy it over to the location you need it for your IDE.
Problem
My machine has been using on Window 8 x64. I have installed Git on my Windows, everything has worked fine. I have configured the "Path to git executable" setting of my IDE (PhpStorm IDE) to the git exe which could be found on the following answer Where is Git exe located Here is the location where git.exe has been located on my computer C:\Users[computer-name]\AppData\Local\GitHub\ But today, I got a message from my IDE: Can't start Git: git.cmd. Probably the path to Git executable is not valid. Fix it. (show balloon) I have checked and the git.exe or git.cmd, they have been gone, I don't know why. I have tried to reuse the GitHubSetup which I've used for installing to repair or reinstall but the GitHub app was still opened normally because it seemed there never has problem with itself. The Github is working on my machine, I can see my repository, commit, etc. But I would like the git.exe to configure for my IDE. How could I get back that missing file (git.exe)?
