According to https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git
The installer includes a command line version of Git as well as the GUI. It also works well with Powershell, and sets up solid credential caching and sane CRLF settings.
When I'm launching the latest download from https://desktop.github.com/, it just runs immediately and does not offer me to install command line version. I checked in cmd by typing git, command is not recognized.
Do GithubDesktop really installed Git command line, if not can I force it to do so somehow ?
Update: I've found the install but cannot access it from Powershell.

Installing GitHub Desktop will also install the latest version of Git if you don't already have it. With GitHub Desktop, you get a command line version of Git with a robust GUI.
You must have Git installed before using GitHub Desktop. If you do not already have Git installed, you can download and install the latest version of Git from https://git-scm.com/downloads. After you have Git installed, you'll need to configure Git for GitHub Desktop.
On the next step, you should choose where to install the program. The default path is “C:\Program Files\Git“. If you want the software installed in a different location click Browse and specify a different folder.
In the menu bar, select the GitHub Desktop menu, then click Install Command Line Tool. Open Terminal. To launch GitHub Desktop to the last opened repository, type github . To launch GitHub Desktop for a particular repository, type github followed by the path to the repository.
