This can be a system environment variables setup issue. But I'm not sure why it's happened.

Note that I am not getting the same issue when I try from the Terminal / Powershes

You might need to add these aliases to your .bash_profile file

See https://herd.laravel.com/docs/windows/1/advanced-usage/command-line#git-bash

@mpociot oh yeah. It's awsome it's working now. Thanks, Dear Awesome tool from you guys

Step to solve

• Add a ~/.bash_profilefile in ~/Users/{acount-name}/ || ~/.bash_profile not available in my directory

• Paste all these lines

alias php="php.bat"
alias herd="herd.bat"
alias laravel="laravel.bat"
alias composer="composer.bat"

• close the git bash
• Open again and tried php -v

Navigate to the bin path of the "herd" folder within Application Support. Then, use the ls -la command to identify which version of PHP is linked to the "php" file.

If that version of PHP is missing, install it. This should resolve the issue I encountered where PHP was missing after installation.
