Thank you Philip, your guidence helped me to find the correct path. I couldn't find with cmd.exe, that I had 3 versions of Git on my machine. But I could find them using git-bash. One of them is found inside Anaconda, the other one came with C++ and Codelite installaiton and the one that I've updated was in "Program files/Git". I've changed the wrong paths editing the PATH environment variable and now it shows the correct version. This was a 2 weeks headache, thank you very much.
