  • Which terminal/shell are you running Git from?

Powershell

Run installer to update Git

  • What did you expect to occur after running these commands?

Keep my current editor settings (which is not in the list proposed by the installer)

  • What actually happened instead?

I'm required to pick one from the list, or select a custom one. But I just want to keep what I already have.

  • If the problem was occurring with a specific repository, can you provide the
    URL to that repository to help us with testing?

Also, it's really annoying that the installer prompts me for every setting. When I upgrade, I don't want to change my settings, I want to keep them. With the current experience, I have to think about which value I want for each setting. It makes the upgrade process really annoying, and discourages from doing frequent upgrades.

This should be solved by git-for-windows/build-extra#270. Please check wether the next installer keeps your editor (and other settings) as expected.

Edit: You could also watch out for new snapshots. Snapshot installers from now on should also have that issue resolved.

@rimrul thanks!
I'll close this issue, since it's basically the same as the other one.
