I'm running windows 8 and ran the setup for the Git credential helper found here: http://blob.andrewnurse.net/gitcredentialwinstore/git-credential-winstore.exe

When it runs, in the console window that pops up, I get "Could not find Git in your PATH environment variable. You can specify the exact path to git by running git-credential-winstore -i C:\Path\To\Git.exe"

I guess I do not know enough about windows here to understand what I should do here. Ok WHERE do I type this git-credential-winstore -i C:\Path\To\Git.exe, in the GitBash console?

The path to my Git.exe appears to be C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd

Also note that when I installed Git from http://git-scm.com/downloads for windows, I chose the option "Use Git Bash Only" as I'm not really familiar with any of this stuff period.

UPDATE - more details

I am referencing this blog post: http://www.jeremymorgan.com/tutorials/how-to-install-octopress-windows/

So the problem is even after I tried the command "Yari 1.9.3" in the command prompt for windows, or in powershell, neither worked:

you cd into your download directory or wherever you saved git-credential-winstore.exe to:

C:\Users\user\Downloads>

then run 

 git-credential-winstore -i "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\git.exe"

your windows command line will look like this:

C:\Users\user\Downloads>git-credential-winstore -i "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\git.exe"

note the quote marks.

This worked for me.

You run commands like this from a shell

With Windows the defacto shell is cmd.exe, also known as Command Prompt.

This "program" can typically be found at C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe

Your instructions likely omit this information because cmd.exe has been around for 20 years.

yea I tried command prompt AFTER I had installed yari, that is.yari was downloaded via the instructions here but it still did not recognize the command yari 1.9.3 in command prompt jeremymorgan.com/tutorials/how-to-install-octopress-windows
the problem is I just wasn't sure if it was the windows command prompt, powershell, or Git Bash to perform the "Yari 1.9.3" command after I had enabled yari for Git. Because it was not working in any of these command prompts.
and people don't infer stuff like that when you have installed GitBash and also have windows command prompt and now powershell, give me a break.. People can't assume that everyone knows which to use for what.

You can only install path under uninstall registry key.
some snippet batch script.

@ECHO OFF

SET __PA=

IF /i NOT "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%"=="x86" SET __PA=\Wow6432Node
FOR /F "tokens=2*" %%F in ('REG QUERY HKLM\SOFTWARE%__PA%\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Git_is1 /v InstallLocation') DO SET gitPath=%%G

ECHO %gitPath%

Because the git you have installed is not in the Program Files or Program Files(x86).

It have been installed as a localized version for the particular user and thus your Environment Variable path should be like this. C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Programs\Git\bin

Cheers ;)
