From f110c46902859832f798fc6777ac6bd0e661804a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pat Thoyts Date: Sun, 2 Oct 2016 22:19:47 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] git-gui (Windows): use git-gui.exe in `Create Desktop Shortcut` When calling `Repository>Create Desktop Shortcut`, Git GUI assumes that it is okay to call `wish.exe` directly on Windows. However, in Git for Windows 2.x' context, that leaves several crucial environment variables uninitialized, resulting in a shortcut that does not work. To fix those environment variable woes, Git for Windows comes with a convenient `git-gui.exe`, so let's just use it when it is available.
