How do you set java version in windows git bash?

Let’s say you want to try other Java versions but you don’t want to alter the Windows environment variables.

Steps:

• Go to your home folder. i.e. C:\Users\MyAccountName

• Edit the .bashrc file and add the following code below.

  #For example:
  export JAVA_HOME='/c/Program Files (x86)/Java/jdk1.8.0_45'
  export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
  

• .bashrc and .bash_profile are files created during the git-bash installation.
