Scoop-extras: SourceTree can not with git install from scoop

[Anniywell]

I install git with scoop，but sourcetree can't find the git path correctly.

            <setting name="GitSystemPath" serializeAs="String">
                <value>C:\Users\12Sigma\scoop</value>
            </setting>

Hey @Anniywell , I don't use SourceTree, but the path you're using probably won't work.

Try C:\Users\12Sigma\scoop\apps\git\current .

Or C:\Users\12Sigma\scoop\shims

[Anniywell]

This path can not modify by user.
The path is automatically updated when the sourcetree is started

Hm, seems to be a problem with SourceTree itself: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREEWIN-7964
Use embedded git as a workaround.

For anyone looking for a solution: a better workaround is to create a directory junction (hard link) for the embedded git sourcetree tries to use.
In %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree create a directory junction using elevated command prompt named git_local to point to scoop's git location *path*\Scoop\apps\git\current

mklink /J %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree\git_local *path*\Scoop\apps\git\current

Then in source tree options, specify it to use embedded git.

Hey, as Sourcetree is from the extras bucket I created an issue over there when I encountered the same problem: https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop-extras/issues/1674

I actually found a different workaround by editing the configuration file: https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop-extras/issues/1674#issuecomment-458736215 + https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop-extras/issues/1674#issuecomment-458736787

I also created an issue with Atlassian so they maybe can get their git.exe discovery code fixed to work with git installed via scoop: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREEWIN-11329 Votes welcome!

I would move this to scoop-extras, but I don’t see the “transfer this issue” option, per
https://help.github.com/articles/transferring-an-issue-to-another-repository/

@rasa only repo admins/owners have this privilege.

@r15ch13 happy to handle these tasks if someone is willing to make me an admin. Direct the request to @lukesampson ?

When I select the system Git in SourceTree, the GitSystemPath looks like the parent parent path of the path obtained by running where.exe git.
The problem is that the values ​​for where.exe git and scoop which git are different by default.
To solve this problem, I added %USERPROFILE%\scoop\apps\git\current\cmd to the Path environment variable and made this a higher priority than %USERPROFILE%\scoop\shims.
