I am following the Git vs GitHub article [online](https://www.interviewbit.com/blog/git-vs-github/), but I am having trouble with the following steps: > “To create a new Git repository, run the following command in a terminal:” ```auto git init ``` When I run this command, I get the following error: ```auto 'git' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. ``` I have tried installing Git, but I am still getting this error. I am using Windows 10. Can someone please help me understand why I am getting this error and how to fix it? ---
