git, capistrano and windows please help

Question

hi

I am trying to deploy my app to my server using capistrano

I am in a Git Bash and have commited everything and setup deloy.rb file and remote repo on Github.

Now when i try and cap command even cap -h from Git bash i get error : sh.exe": cap: command not found

I am in the correct dir.

It seems Git Bash is not linked to capistrano.

Please help as cant find anything one this isssue and have been trying to deploy for days !

thanks alot rick

Answer 1

Git Bash, unlike the Windows command prompt, only looks in the PATH environment variable for executables and does not look in the current directory. Either specify the full path to the cap executable (if it is in the current dir then use ./cap) or add its location to the PATH variable, and you'll be able to run it.
Note that you'll have to close git bash and start it again for the environment variables to be updated after you change them.
