Git Bash: remote: command not found

I want to split off a folder inside my existing github repository into it's own repository so I tried following the instructions here: https://help.github.com/articles/splitting-a-subfolder-out-into-a-new-repository/

I've never installed git on my machine before so I downloaded the latest installer and went through the options. I choose the option 'Use Git from windows command prompt'. Once it's installed there are some commands that do not work.

Git Bash: enter image description here

Git CMD: enter image description here

I've tried setting the PATH variable as well manually but that doesn't fix it, I still get the same 'command not found'.

Is this a bug with the latest git? Or did I somehow mess up the install?

I'm on windows 10 machine.

git is the program remote and -v are arguments for it

First you will want to clone a repository that you want for example

git clone https://github.com/justinmeister/Mario-Level-1 mario_game

this will create a folder called mario_game with the git remote setup.

cd mario_game

git remote -v

Now you will see the remote as https://github.com/justinmeister/Mario-Level-1
