This is the Git mailing list, which does not answers questions about Git for Windows, or Atom, both of which are separate projects. You can find out about the support of each at:

  - https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues, and
  - https://github.com/atom/atom/issues

I would recommend opening an issue on one or both of the above and getting the recommendations of those project maintainers. Thanks.
