Package Control Error Executing

#1

Just installed Package Control and when I try to install a new package I am getting an error dialog pop up with the following

Package Control
Error executing: C:\RailsInstaller\Git\cmd\git.exe symbolic-ref -q HEAD
VCS -based packages can be ignored with the “ignore_vcs_packages” setting.

I’m not even running rails so I don’t understand why it’s even trying to execute git for rails. Additionally, to try and resolve I set “ignore_vcs_packages” -> true in user settings, restarted. Reinstalled rails and reinstalled git, updated sublime. I am clueless as to what’s going on. But I am unable to install other packages. Anyone have ideas?

That setting needs to go in the Package Control settings file.

It almost certainly found git via your PATH env variable. You must have used git to clone one of your packages.
