Not able to create repository

I installed GIT and Cygwin GIT client. When command window opens, and $ prompt appears, I type in:

Git Init

It says:

Baash: Command not found.

Try this command:

type git

It should respond with:

git is /usr/bin/git

Try:

/usr/bin/git init

Which should respond with:

Initialized empty Git repository in ...

Also try:

echo $SHELL

Which should return:

/bin/bash

You can also try:

file /usr/bin/git

Which should give you:

/usr/bin/git: MS-DOS executable PE  for MS Windows (console) Intel 80386 32-bit

Be careful with uppercase. You should type it all lowercase :

git init

If it still doesn't work type this command:

echo $PATH

Then look for the git binary in the directories listed by this command. If you can't find it reinstall git in one of those directories or add your git binary's directory to this list (google "add a directory to my path").

Was it not rather:

bash: $: command not found

Which would indicate that git is not referenced in the PATH environment variable?
Or that you try typing:

$ git init

instead of

git init

(do not type the $)

"Baash" ? Do you have a script which has #!/bin/baash at the top of it, instead of #!/bin/bash?
