Description
### What type of update are you requesting?
Something else not listed
### Current Package Identifier
sourcegit-scm.SourceGit
### Package Version
Latest.
### Please describe the changes you would like to see
WinGet does not create a start menu shortcut for SourceGit, so the user is forced to locate the installation directory in an obscure AppData path and manually create one. It would be better for the shortcut to be created automatically.
