Description
Would it be possible to utilize GitHub desktop's embedded Git if the system-wide git is not found? It is a very easy installer for less experienced users to use and would get them up and running faster with a BuildVersion project.
From what I can tell, the integrated install is located at: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\GitHubDesktop\<app-X.X.X>\resources\app\git\cmd\git.exe
Powershell can get to Local AppData without needing the user's name with $env:LOCALAPPDATA, but it would have to look for the latest app version within there to find git.exe. Does this sound like a good idea or is it too risky?
Sourcetree and other clients also have embedded Git, but I think we can just assume those are more advanced users that can set up the system-level Git PATH themselves.
