Git for windows, is not setting environmental variables, despite being asked to during installation. After setting up environmental variables, errors still occur.

git 2.4.4 with all extras selected [unix tools etc] errors out in visual studio code. When trying to clone a repository.
> git clone https://github.com/Chaython/simplewall.git c:\Users\Chay\Git\simplewall --progress
git: 'remote-https' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

I've tried changing installation settings... Installing from winget... Installing from chocolatey and obviously manually installing the x64 executable. Each time trying BCU/Geek to properly uninstall all leftovers. I normally clone using github client, however I thought it would both be more convenient to use visual studio and github client didn't automatically import .gitmodules so I could compile the application....

Git-for-Windows and the Git-for-Windows installer are maintained and produced by gitforwindows.org which has a dedicated bug tracker[*] for Windows-specific issues. Submitting this report to the Git-for-Windows bug tracker will likely lead to a more timely response.
