I have installed Heroku CLI and git. After installation, I restarted the command prompt. When I run git commands, those are recognized fine. But when I type Heroku commands such as `heroku version`, they are not recognized.

So I set the path variable to point to the Heroku installation. Now, Heroku commands are working but the git commands have become unrecognized.

What is the actual problem?

Here is the cmd prompt content.

By doing that, you *replaced* your PATH variable to *only* contain that path. So you essentially broke everything else.

What you usually do is append or prepend the new path to the PATH variable, e.g. like this:

```
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Heroku\bin

```

The permanent solution would be to edit your Windows to include that path to the Heroku executables by default. See this question on SuperUser for more information and instructions: [What are PATH and other environment variables, and how can I set or use them?](https://superuser.com/q/284342/24082)
1. Just close the vs code, command prompt and all the browser.
2. And restart your pc. Then open your cmd,
3. go the project file and writr "heroku login"
it will work
