Tried with the configure option, not able to find the tools configuration option and the git executable section. Seems like it occurs after a successful build only. Please help.
Here's the output I receive after building the project on the console output section:

This wasted so much time on my Jenkins Windows slave.
I knew git was in the path because I executed "where git" in the build job's batch command.
where git
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd\git.exe
Apparently the Jenkins Git Plugin executes ** before ** the environment is inherited.
SET YOUR SLAVE's PATH to Git ( Just DO IT !! )
1) Go to your Windows slave configuration Manage Jenkins > Manage Nodes
2) Select your slave configuration
3) Check Tool Locations under Node Properties
4) Enter complete path to git executable including git.exe
[x] Tool Locations
Name: (GIT) git
Home: C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd\git.exe
