I installed vim fugitive via pathogen plugin. Helptags created the tags for fugitive.
In the next step I set up a brand new git repo with git init, jumped into that folder, created a README.
In gVim I then run :Gstatus but the split window that opens is empty. :Gcommit tells me that the command git is spelled wrong.
I installed Git-1.7.9-preview20120201.exe for Windows 7 64Bit from here:
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list
Can anybody bring me on the right track?
Regards
It seems
gitcommand is not in the PATH environment variable. What happens if you invokegitfrom Windows command prompt?msysgit installer provides you 3 options:
Use Git Bash only: PATH won’t be edited.
Run Git from Windows Command Prompt: it will add Git to your PATH.
Run Git and included Unix tools from the Windows Command Prompt: Git and several Unix tools will be added to your PATH.
So, you can re-install git with one of the two last options or add manually
C:\Program Files\Git\cmdto your PATH.
