The windows installer invites you to start a bash shell at the end of the install process. I configured git to use plink as my ssh tool. This requires the GIT_SSH variable to be set. It is not set in this first run, so git doesn't work properly. The installer was Git-2.24.0.2-64-bit.exe

$ grep plink first-run-env second-run-env second-run-env:GIT_SSH=C:\Program Files\PuTTY\plink.exe second-run-env:SVN_SSH=C:\Program Files\PuTTY\plink.exe
