What's Wrong?

When I run claude in my home directory, Claude says:

PS C:\Users\imehta> claude
Claude Code on Windows requires git-bash (https://git-scm.com/downloads/win). If installed but not in PATH, set environment variable pointing to your bash.exe, similar to: CLAUDE_CODE_GIT_BASH_PATH=C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe

When I run it in any subdirectory, it works fine:

PS C:\Users\imehta\Code> claude

 ▐▛███▜▌   Claude Code v2.1.58
▝▜█████▛▘  Opus 4.6 · Claude Enterprise
  ▘▘ ▝▝    ~\Code

What Should Happen?

It should work regardless of the directory it is being run in.
