adb: command not found in Git Bash

Question

I am using Git Bash on Windows 8. Whenever I type
$ adb devices
I get
bash: adb: command not found
I have already added the path to the PATH variable.

Answer 1

if you haven't solved the problem yet, try adding an alias to your adb.exe place yourself in the git $home folder

cd $home

if you haven't created the .bashrc file yet Execute

touch .bahsrc

thereupon

vi .bashrc

add the following line to the file

alias adb='/c/adb/platform-tools/adb.exe'

*note: this path is relative, it depends on where you unzipped the .zip from adb and save the changes made in vi with ESC then :wq!
