I have installed Git version Git-1.8.3-preview20130601.exe from https://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list?q=full+installer+official+git. I have also installed PoshGit and I am using Windows PowerShell.
When I start up PowerShell I get
WARNING: Could not find ssh-agent
I am able to enter ssh-agent.exe into the command line and the ssh agent starts up. I'm also able to do all of the Git commands, so my path to Git is probably correct.
I have been following this guide to get Git working correctly in Windows.
I have already tried his suggestion of adding $env:path += ";" + (Get-Item "Env:ProgramFiles(x86)").Value + "\Git\bin" into my Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 file and it did not work. It did not make any difference. I am looking for suggestions other than that solution.
For completeness, this is my Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 file
# Load posh-git example profile
. 'C:\Users\________\code\posh-git\profile.example.ps1'
$env:path += ";" + (Get-Item "Env:ProgramFiles(x86)").Value + "\Git\bin"
