Git bash: 'cp' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

In Git bash, when I use the cp command, it gives the error message:

'cp' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

what should I do ?

Solution

I just had the same issue. I had to use copy in Windows instead of cp for it to work. See this link CP Command Prompt Windows 7 not recognized.
