I'm running windows 8 and ran the setup for the Git credential helper found here: http://blob.andrewnurse.net/gitcredentialwinstore/git-credential-winstore.exe
When it runs, in the console window that pops up, I get "Could not find Git in your PATH environment variable. You can specify the exact path to git by running git-credential-winstore -i C:\Path\To\Git.exe"
I guess I do not know enough about windows here to understand what I should do here. Ok WHERE do I type this git-credential-winstore -i C:\Path\To\Git.exe, in the GitBash console?
The path to my Git.exe appears to be C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd
Also note that when I installed Git from http://git-scm.com/downloads for windows, I chose the option "Use Git Bash Only" as I'm not really familiar with any of this stuff period.
UPDATE - more details
I am referencing this blog post: http://www.jeremymorgan.com/tutorials/how-to-install-octopress-windows/
So the problem is even after I tried the command "Yari 1.9.3" in the command prompt for windows, or in powershell, neither worked:
you cd into your download directory or wherever you saved git-credential-winstore.exe to:
C:\Users\user\Downloads>
then run
git-credential-winstore -i "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\git.exe"
your windows command line will look like this:
C:\Users\user\Downloads>git-credential-winstore -i "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\git.exe"
note the quote marks.
This worked for me.
