Requirements
1. You need to have Git Extensions installed 1. Git Extensions must be available globally (for Windows users: registered in the PATH environment variable)
Git Extensions should register itself in the PATH (checkbox during the installation process). If it did not and you need to manually add a variable to your PATH, I wrote the following article about that: How to add your PHP runtime directory to your Windows 10 PATH environment variable. Just change ...\php.exe with C:\Program Files (x86)\GitExtensions\GitExtensions.exe.
