      Scoop is a command line installer for Windows, think apt-get but for Windows. I used it to install `git`, and then Sourcetree. On installation, Sourcetree unfortunately misidentifies the location of git.exe:

      There is no `cmd` folder under `scoop`:

      But there is a `cmd/git.exe` in `C:\Users\Jan\scoop\apps\git\current\cmd`:

      Seems the installer is somehow using a a wrong path, and then adding `cmd/git.exe` to it. Maybe because Scoop is installing a shim for git in `C:\Users\Jan\scoop\shims\git.exe`? Go a folder back, then add `cmd/git.exe` and you have the wrong path.

      Here is a GitHub issue on the scoop bucket that contains Sourcetree: https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop-extras/issues/1674 In there I collected some links to other issues on GitHub but also in the Atlassian Community, that helped me understand the issue and also provides a workaround by manually editing the path in the Sourcetree configuration.

            I created the following script to get around the issue 

             

            add_scoop_bucked extras
$gitLocalPath = "$HOME\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree\git_local"
$gitCurrentPath = "$HOME\Scoop\apps\git\current"
# Create intermediate directories if they don't exist
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path (Split-Path $gitLocalPath) -Force | Out-Null

#Check if the symbolic link already exists
if (!(Test-Path -Path $gitLocalPath)) {
    # Create the symbolic link
    cmd /c mklink /J $gitLocalPath $gitCurrentPath
} 
scoop install sourcetree
