The link created by Repository - Create desktop icon does not work #448
Comments
Thank you for the nice MCVE. As a work-around, you can right-click the shortcut, select Properties, and change the

Unfortunately, the fix did not make it into 2.6.0. But you could test it and 2.6.1 (or 2.7.0) will have it. |
Thanks for testing 😜 |
Would testing require installing the SDK and the whole environment? ... sorry, but that's above my paygrade :( |
When calling `Repository>Create Desktop Shortcut`, Git GUI assumes that it is okay to call `wish.exe` directly on Windows. However, in Git for Windows 2.x' context, that leaves several crucial environment variables uninitialized, resulting in a shortcut that does not work. To fix those environment variable woes, Git for Windows comes with a convenient `git-gui.exe`, so let's just use it when it is available.

I put in an insane effort to make it dirt-easy to set up the SDK and test things: you simply download and run the Git for Windows SDK installer. It would have required less than 5 minutes of your time, although the computer would have been at work for something like 30 minutes, maybe. |
I just tried, just to see how it would go. You are right, it is really easy to install, build and run the test suite. Both the installer of the SDK and the instructions work very well. But I still have not clue what happens when you build. What does make do? I used to program in C in the 80s, but now I can't figure out what happens. Does it create git-gui.exe? I couldn't find a file with that name. I will keep doing what I know: report errors describing the steps as accurately as possible and leave the rest to you :) |
Thanks for confirming that the SDK is easy to install! |
