How to install Git Shell

Question

Windows 7 Ultimate

I used to have Git Shell installed. The icon is grey with a cat face. It was either installed by the Git or by GitHub for Windows.

Somehow

Answer 1

I found out that the answer that you specifically wanted involves a combination of the previous answers: 1. Running the Git Shell via the command line (Since you lost the shortcut)

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\GitHub\GitHub.appref-ms --open-shell

2. Once youre in the Git Shell run the command in the previous answer

github --reinstall-shortcuts

You'll find the Git Shell with the grey cat icon that originally came with the GitHub setup in the desktop.
