Hi, I just installed Git using Git-2.39.2-64-bit.exe on Windows 10. Windows' OpenSSL was added to my PATH, and Git was NOT added to my PATH even though in the config, I selected "Git from the command line and also from 3rd party software" and "Use bundled OpenSSH"

Would you please fix these issues in the next release? Thanks, Ed Ouellette

The Git project doesn't distribute binaries at all. It sounds like you're using Git for Windows, which does. You'd probably want to contact them on their issue tracker at https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues (after first verifying that this hasn't already been reported), since that would be the best way to get this fixed.
