Description
Adafruit Circup Learning Guide (as well as other CircuitPython learning resources) tells us to ensure git is installed before installing circup. However, I have to assume the directions on the Learning Guide for Windows is outdated. It states to "install a version that you can run from the command line such as git-scm" which returns the following
git-scm : The term 'git-scm' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ git-scm install
+ ~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (git-scm:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
I am also unable to find anything that remotely looks correct on the Microsoft Store. I am operating on Windows 11 Pro. Where can I get 'git'???
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the Windows installation wording in the Adafruit Circup Learning Guide and the reported PowerShell command. Update the guide so it identifies a working way to install Git on Windows and the command users should run; done means the instructions are current and usable on Windows 11.
