What's Wrong?

The windows desktop requires git to function. I am an IT professional using Claude to setup IIS. There is absolutely no reason git should be involved and my MSP flat out blocks it on non development boxes. THIS MAKES YOUR TOOL USELESS FOR IT WORK

What Should Happen?

It should allow me to bypass git because I AM NOT WORKING WITH FILES OR CODE
