git - Error: Cannot Spawn C:Path ToTortoiseGitBin: No such file or directory

Question

Trying to do a fetch from origin:

git remote update

Get the error

Error: Cannot Spawn C:Path ToTortoiseGitBin: No such file or directory
fatal: unable to fork
Error: Could not fetch origin

Why is this happening? Also is there a fix?

Answer 1

For me the answer was removing the double quotes of "c:Program Files (x86)PuTTYplink.exe" from the environment variable GIT_SSH.
