Bower install packages fails with 'ENOGIT git is not installed or not in the PATH' #41

When I start up a brand new MVC project in VS2013 Update 4 I get this message

Executing  

bower foundation5-sass#*        ENOGIT git is not installed or not in the PATH

Bower can't find Git from the context of the command line inside Visual Studio. Adding my local Git install to the path like this issue on SO hints at fixed it for me. But, only after I closed and re-opened Visual Studio. So, I just wanted to document this issue here for others.

This is a common problem due to the way the windows command line works, as it reads the PATH variable only on startup. I can add a warning on the homepage to notify of the problem

Added the warning on the homepage. Closing this issue
