  1. Hi JH
    Thanks for the git exe file and the steps to launch. I have been able to successfully run git on the prompt . However my problem of not having git in the path while trying to bower install bootstrap is still unresolved.
    If the path is specified why should I still get error that git is not in the path. Thanks
