Problem Statement
Claude code fails to find git.path user settings when I am using a portable version of git. Until I prompt it to look for it in the vscode user settings, it fails many many prompts trying to find git and eventually abandoning it and trying to find plastic instead when it isn't even the source control.
Proposed Solution
Should add a step to look for it in user settings than expecting it to be on path.
Alternative Solutions
Manually prompting it
Priority
Low - Nice to have
