Sublime 3 - Trouble installing Package Manager plugin

#1

Hello everyone,

When I attempt to install my first plugin (Package Manager)for Sublime 3 it gives me an error saying I need to set the git_binary setting under User Defaults. I have no idea what path to type in as I don’t know what file to point to. My search for git_binary and git.exe found nothing. Never used git before today and that in and of itself is very confusing(not a programmer, just html and css).
I do have the github desktop app installed and I did follow the install instructions:

cd Packages/ git clone github.com/wbond/sublime_package_control.git “Package Control”
cd “Package Control”
git checkout python3

Anyone, I’m a bit lost, if anyone has any advice, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

I found the path finally but in the package.control.sublime-settings file where I am supposed to put the command, I have no idea where to place it. Do I nest it under installed_packages or package control or seperate it out. If so how do I do that. I don’t know what any of this syntax means. Thanks.

I got the path to save but I’m still getting the error saying Unable to find git.exe. Please se tthe git_binary setting by accessing the Preferences>Package Settings>Package Control>Settings -User menu entry.
