Hello Brian,

Hi,

Please keep the list in CC so that everyone can see the discussion.  I'm
not that familiar with Windows and may be offline for a few days soon,
so if you CC the list you may find someone who is better able to answer
your questions.

I have installed "Git for Windows v2.31.1".

I only need the git.exe so that Android Studio can use it for dowloading a
sample Android app from GitHub.

But now I got 4 git.exe programs:

F:\programs\Git
	\bin\git.exe
	\cmd\git.exe
	\mingw64\bin\git.exe
	\mingw64\libexec\git-core\git.exe

Which should I specify in Android Studio as the needed git.exe?

I believe you can go to a command prompt and type "where git" and that
should print the proper location.  If you've installed the portable
version, I believe the one in the top-level bin directory is correct.
