Hi @vczh!

We no longer install Git for Windows as part of GitHub Desktop. If you would like to install it, visit https://git-for-windows.github.io.

If you just wanna open Powershell, you should be able to click the "Open without Git" button.

@joshaber So what's the point if you let people open PowerShell in that repo folder but cannot use git?

Many developers use other command line tools in their development process. This gives them a quick way to open a shell in the context in which they are working.
