Install aborted: /mingw64/bin/git is Git for Windows which is not supported.

I don't know why this is happening, but for some reason, I can't install omf on Windows (Git Bash)! I installed fishshell easily but got stuck in this problem. I don't really know what information to provide (you can ask for it explicitly), but the information I can provide is the last terminal output:

The message says it all. Git for Windows is not supported. It has some issues that prevent a correct installation of OMF.

Maybe that has changed? Maybe those issues are solved? Do you feel like changing bin/install and seeing if it works?

You could comment the following lines:

oh-my-fish/bin/install

Lines 478 to 481 in d428b72

	debug "Verifying Git implementation is not buggy Git for Windows"
	if cmd git --version | cmd grep -i -q windows
	abort (which git)" is Git for Windows which is not supported."
	end

Proceed at your own risk:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish/master/bin/install > install
# comment those lines
fish install

I was looking for the code that sets the terminator... Thanks for showing me! But hold on...what do you mean by at your own risk? Will that destroy my PC? It wouldn't right? 🤣

[TheCodeHeist]

Hell yah! Another Problem.....

TheCodeHeist@TheCodeHeistPC ~> fish install

I doubt there would be any harsh consequences, but one can never know. I used to have a Windows VM running somewhere in the cloud but that's not the case anymore.

So, I'm guessing you're about to comment the next few lines after those linked above and try again?

FWIW, I just tried it (latest Git for Windows, disabling the check, and disabling autocrlf git config --global core.autocrlf false), and omf installed like a charm. So, maybe the check can be made a warning instead, or perhaps configurable?

Thanks for the hint!!! I had to comment out "assert_cmds" in the function "sane_environment_check" on Alma Linux 9 WSL2. Now it's working fine! ❤️😊

[scorphus]

Glad it works, @furopi! Would you please share which required commands were missing? Thanks!

I had to comment out "assert_cmds" in the function "sane_environment_check" in the install.fish script. Then it worked 🤷‍♂️

[scorphus]

Nice!

It probably complained of missing commands. I guess you don't recall which ones. Would you be willing to run that function alone and see which commands are missing? Thanks a lot!

Sorry, I already deleted the Alma WSL distro, so I can't trace back the problem here... 😢
