msysgit - Edit remote PATH for ssh

Question

In mysysgit when I do ssh user@machine.com echo \$PATH I am missing a few items in my PATH in order to work with git. Specifically git-upload-pack. I saw this answer (https://stackoverflow.com/a/225315/333890) which confirmed my problem, but I have been unable to figure out how to edit the PATH such that ssh user@machine.com echo \$PATH reflects the correct path to my missing commands.

So, the question, how do I edit the PATH variable for my remote connections?

I have tried created a .bashrc in my $HOME of my git-bash and I've tried looking around in various other places, but can't seem to find anything that works.

Thanks!

Make sure you create your .bashrc in your remote system and not on your current local machine.

You can add something like this on it:

PATH=/path/to/git/bin/dir:$PATH
export PATH # optional

Try placing it in .profile as well if it doesn't work with .bashrc.
