"'git' is not recognized as an internal or external command,"

Do you have git installed and is it in your path ?

yes it is installed, but I'm not sure that it is in my path.

Thank you Frank, I've added git to my path and it worked for me.

For anyone experiencing the same issue:

I first opened the command prompt (searching cmd in the windows search bar) and typed where git.exe. This gives me the location of where git.exe is located. (In my case is C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe)

Then, follow the steps here. For the fifth step, click "New" and paste the location of git.exe that you got earlier to the path.

This fixed my error and got stable diffusion running in my case. Hope this helps!

Try also resetting the path of XCode Command Line: sudo xcode-select --reset

I also had similar problem, deleting git then installing for all users solved my problem.

I had a very similar if not identical error and found the solution. Steps to follow:

1. Open the Start menu and look for "Environment Variables".
2. Select "Edit system environment variables".
3. Click the "Environment Variables" button.
4. In the "System Variables" section, find the PATH variable and click the "Edit" button.
5. Click the "New" button and add the path to the git application (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Git\bin").
6. Click "OK" to save your changes and close all windows.

Once you have added the git application path to the PATH environment variable, try running the .bat file again. I hope this helps you fix the problem.

Curiosity: Chat GPT solved it for me, because I had no idea. :-)
