Windows/scoop - does not create new repositories in empty folder #1486

@the-Arioch

I just installed from scoop and trying to launch LG in an empty folder. LG asks me if i want to create a repository there, and regardless of an answer just exits.

Windows 7 SP1 Rus x64, PowerShell 7, DotNet runtime (4 or 5 don't remember)

SysInternals Process Monitor shows no attempt at creating repos happens at all.
The debug log seems to show no command to create repo is ever given to git.exe (i have a functioning TortoiseGit latest, which required and uses command-line git)

C:\>cd /d d:\Bitrix

d:\Bitrix>mkdir www_src

d:\Bitrix>cd www_src

d:\Bitrix\www_src>lazygit

Some background: i seem to be tasked with maintaining and old PHP site on old Linux box (virtualized) using old version of a commercial PHP framework. Just because, who else can make ven minimal fixes and changes there. They made a "sandbox" copy of the server for me to experiment and because that Linux is old i am now looking for a standalone Git UI. I would prefer GUI tool but i am not sure they would manage to make X-over-SSH there, so TUI tools might be the only option. LazyGit seems nice by its "manifest" and because being small stand-alone app (at least on Windows/scoop). ...If only it would had worked.
