Today while working on a project on Python I needed to import git module so in I opened CMD and entered the following commandpip install GitPython to install git then when I went to test the module on CMD by opening python shell and typingimport git I got an error message

`ImportError: Bad git executable.The git executable must be specified in one of the following ways:    - be included in your $PATH    - be set via $GIT_PYTHON_GIT_EXECUTABLE    - explicitly set via git.refresh()All git commands will error until this is rectified.This initial message can be silenced or aggravated in the future by setting the$GIT_PYTHON_REFRESH environment variable.

I opened CMD and entered the following commandpip install GitPython to install git

GitPython provides agit module for Python code, but it does not provideGit itself. GitPython does most of its work by using the externalgit command thatGit provides. So GitPython needsGit to be present.

For the GitPythongit module to make use of this externalgit command, the external command must either be runnable asgit from the environment in which you run the Python process that uses GitPython, or specially configured as described in the message you saw. In most cases, it either is present asgit or is intended to be present asgit.

IsGit installed? If it is installed and usable, then runninggit version from the command line should show something likegit version 2.43.0.windows.1.

If you are able to successfully rungit version from the same command line that you runpython on, then GitPython should usually be able to use it as well, and if it cannot then this might be due to a bug in GitPython. But ifgit version does not work when you run it, then GitPython will usually be unable to run the externalgit command for the same reason you are unable to run it directly (whatever that reason happens to be).
