Performing a git command in a powershell script

Question

I am working on a few powershell scripts to automate some common tasks i do every day.

I would like to be able to write one that does a pull of the latest code using git and opens the VS solution. I can do the opening of the solution, what i need help with is calling git pull from a powershell script.

I tried git pull <repo name> in my script, however it doesn't recognise the git command.

Thanks in advance.

Chris

You either need git in your PATH environment variable, or have an App Paths entry for git or specify the full path to your git executable.

Thanks, once i read your answer i couldn't believe i hadn't checked the git was in my PATH variable. I assumed it would have been set when git was installed.
