[solved]Setting up environment to contribute to forge

Well apparently I just needed to restart for it to start working since it now works and I haven't touched it since yesterday.

this is what I am getting in the log:

I have set up git in sysVars (I can use git command in cmd from anywhere in C:\), the problem is that the git command doesn't work on me secondary drive(F:\) which is where I have all of my coding stuff setup. I haven't been able to find anything helpful.

Things I have tried:

• copy github folder to F drive and setup and add that location to Path
  
• Putting the paths in both system Path and user Path variable
  
• Combinations of the two
  
• altering line 357 to the static path for git
  
• manually setting a GIT_BRANCH variable using the contents of line 357
  
• also tried with contents of line 357 but with the static path to git
