You don't have git installed on your PC. Download the installer from https://git-scm.com/install/windows, or just enter this command to install it: winget install --id Git.Git -e --source winget

git version 2.53.0 is already existing in my system.

These are things I would try:

  1. Restart VSCode
  2. Restart computer (because newly installed programs don't get registered by other programs until you fully restart them)
  3. Click on the down arrow next to plus icon (which is next to the text "powershell") in your screenshot, and see if git bash is available there. It should appear as an entry in the list.

Not sure what I would do if none of these work.

Option 3 seems to be the only solution. Shall try this over again tomorrow.
