What were you trying to install (or what else went wrong)?

git

What exactly did you do?

I ran curl https://webi.ms/git | powershell

What went wrong?

Despite the installation went ok and restarting the command prompt,
git command cannot be found:

"'git' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
