Feature Request: Git Path Config

[isairz]

My Team uses Perforce as VersionControl.
So, “git client” installed on only programmer’s machines.

Of course, I was surprised that artists and designers didn’t install git client.
However, I don’t want to guide how to install git client and make additional dependency for Unity.

It would be helpful to provide “git path” config like NPM(https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/config#git)

My Suggestion

manifest.json

{
"git": "../Tools/PortableGit/bin/git.exe",
"dependencies": {
...
}
}

Hey there, this is an interesting idea, but I just want to stress that we don’t see ourselves addressing this anytime soon, I can tell you that the team at the very least has seen this idea!
