bash: code: command not found

Question

On a windows 8.1, prefer mac. Just downloaded visual studio code. Git Bash installed. If I type code, VS Code should open up a new file, but bash is telling me it doesn't know of that command. Restarting/reinstalling didn't help. When I downloaded, the option to add it to the PATH was selected. What do I need to do to add this command so I can open directories from the command prompt?

Right now, people who know bash but not VS Code can't help with this at all. Adding more details would help. Does comparing echo %PATH% inside cmd.exe to echo "$PATH" in bash, for instance, show you that the relevant addition is present inside one but not the other? If you search for code.exe (code.bat, etc), where is it installed? — Charles Duffy

Launching via Git Bash is not currently supported, this is being tracked in issue #1704 on GitHub.
