Installing/Updating SourceTree's local GIT implementation

Gary -

Quick reminder here, if GIT for SourceTree on Windows is broken, or being deployed to a machine with restricted internet you can manually install it using the following method.

  1. Download the latest 32-bit portableGit installer from Github (https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/).  i.e. PortableGit-2.28.0-32-bit.7z.exe
  2. Check the SHA-256 signature
  3. Run the .exe installer and install it to the folder; %LOCALAPPDATA%\Atlassian\SourceTree\git_Local

e.g. c:\users\gary\appdata\local\Atlassian\SourceTree\git_local.
