Add instructions for installing Git in a Windows environment with network drives

Open parkerbxyz opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

If you are in a corporate Windows environment with a mapped network drive and modified HOME path, chances are you will install Git onto the mapped network drive. This will cause Git to run verrrrrry slowly because each command will be run on a remote server instead of locally. This also often causes .gitconfig permissions problems.

We should add information about how to install Git to your local drive if you are in an environment like this.
