Hi i am willing to use Git Bash for app dev, however whenever i start it, it gives me couple of 'bash :export:' lines and not even the clear/clrscr commands work. I am using a Windows 8.1 machine (6.00 gb ram, 1 TB - just so you know). I have tried the following:
- uninstalling-reinstalling git
- Using Git as CMD prompt
Below is the screenshot of the Terminal window:
Output of echo $PATH
This is my current PATH env variable:
C:\Users\Madhukar Jain.npm-global\node_modules\express;C:\Users\Madhukar Jain\AppData\Roaming\npm;%APPDATA%\Roaming\npm\node_modules.bin\;C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.2\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft VS Code\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd;

Looks like the PATH is completely messed up. Are you using custom profile/rc file such as ~/.bashrc , ~/.bash_profile , ~/.bash_login or ~/.profile ? If yes you need to check whether the contents are syntactically correct. From the errors I feel that there are few issues with special characters such as spaces. You may have to use double quotes properly to clearly differentiate the directories in the PATH.
Try this and check
export PATH=$PATH:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin
