failed to run '/usr/bin/bash': no such file or directory

I've been using gitbash these past few days and it's working just fine. But a while ago, after install a pdf reader with patch file, when I opened my gitbash it gave me the error which says "Failed to run '/usr/bin/bash': No such file or directory". I don't know what happened and why, but I think the patch file of the application that I installed has something to do with it. My pc antivirus prompted a warning, and I took actions. Then the trouble in the gitbash happened. Please help me, I don't want to reinstall gitbash again coz I also have to install some things.

I assume you still have /usr and /usr/bin, it's just /usr/bin/bash that has been deleted? Do you still have /bin/bash? They are (AFAICS) the same file in my git bash, so you could copy or link /bin/bash to /usr/bin/bash to get it back?

And why have you tagged this reactjs? I can't see how it is related to that.

If it's there I expect that would work, yes. If that's been deleted too then I expect you'll have to reinstall sorry. But the reinstall should just overwrite the git installation, and shouldn't break any configuration you've set up - unless you've customised the installed version of git it ought not cause you any problems.

to resolve this issue simply reinstall git.

Try 'echo $PATH' in CygWin Terminal to get the PATH it must written something like

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32:/cygdrive/c/Windows:/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0:/cygdrive/c/Program
Files/TortoiseHg:/home

Depending on the Chroot in you sshd_config it looks for the /bin/bash file

you will have three options
