Issue created Jan 12, 2018 by Ghost User@ghost1

Add TortoiseGit to Win10 default program list

What steps will reproduce the problem? N/A

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

TortoiseGit is not in the list of default programs for the protocols it handles.

What version of TortoiseGit and Git are you using? On what operating system?

Windows 10 (the default programs list is available windows vista and up)

Please provide any additional information below.

There are only 5 (x2 with HKLM) keys missing to properly register TortoiseGit to the default program list.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RegisteredApplications]
"TortoiseGit"=Software\TortoiseGit\Capabilities #Link to TortoiseGit\Capabilities

#Register the protocols TortoiseGit can handle
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TortoiseGit\Capabilities\UrlAssociations]
"github-windows"="github-windows"  #this refers to HKCR\github-windows, already created by the installer
"tgit"="tgit"                      #this refers to HKCR\gtgit, already created by the installer
"smartgit"="smartgit"              #this refers to HKCR\smartgit, already created by the installer
"git"="git"                        #this refers to HKCR\git, already created by the installer

Defaults Program TortoiseGit
