See if your PATH environment variable is setup properly. Any system should have atleast the below on PATH

;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;

Add the above if not there.

Once added, open a new cmd / bash and try:

where chcp

It should give the path.

Then try with the git init again

Edit
