Add-on to [Enabling Projects feature - missing git](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/enabling-projects-feature-missing-git/29317). Perhaps Projects guide can be improved from this experience?

Sharing my path. May help others working in Windows 10

- Update of node-red to latest version, following the initial install instructions
- Enable Projects in settings.js according to instructions in [https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/projects/](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/projects/)
- Launch Node-Red in Command Prompt window
- NR-log reports that Projects is disabled for missing git
- Back to instructions. Under [https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/projects/#creating-your-first-project](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/projects/#creating-your-first-project) is a link with help to set up your git client (_in my opinion this should appear higher up in page, part of enabling_). This link brings you to Github installation instructions and did help me to get a working "git" command on my system. I did check so in second Command Prompt window
- Stop and relaunch Node-Red. I used Crtl-C and relaunched in same Command Prompt window. _That turns out to be dumb. Close Command Prompt and launch a fresh one, otherwise NR still fails to pick-up git!_
