How to add git bash to already installed TortoiseGit

Question

I have already installed TortoiseGit but I don't have Git Bash as an option, can anyone advise me how I can install this?

If you have installed TortoiseGit, you should also have installed msysGit (as it is a prerequisite) which comes with a git bash. Check in the Start menu for the shortcut to start it. — adrianbanks, Jul 11 '12 at 22:52
You will probably need to copy your keys to a place that git-bash will recognize: http://serverfault.com/questions/194567/how-do-i-tell-git-for-windows-where-to-find-my-private-rsa-key — BlueRaja - Danny Pflughoeft, Aug 19 '15 at 20:12

Just go ahead and download Git bash form http://git-scm.com/downloads , however if you use a key instead of a user id password , you might need to re configure.

Re-install Git for Windows, and enable Git Bash Here, see:

Then, there will be a context menu item Git Bash Here when right clicking in the folder, see:

Or you can use the one in Start menu, see:

Isn't the "Git Bash Here" option only a windows shell (right click content menu) option to open bash terminal? (And not the actual bash executable)? – Fredrik Sep 06 '17 at 09:05
Yes, to open bash terminal. Updated my answer. – Yue Lin Ho Sep 06 '17 at 09:41
