Could not lock config file c:apps/git/etc/gitconfig
Please install into C:\Program Files\Git
. The problem will most likely simply go away then.
Installing to c:\program files\git addresses this issue.
Note though that the uninstaller left numerous orphan entries in the registry. Consequently, opening git bash from the File Explorer shell context window fails with program not found error.

You wouldn't happen to have recorded the list somewhere? That would be valuable information to add to this ticket.
I just searched for the partial filename string such as apps/git, and deleted these keys or values. Unfortunately, I did not keep a list. My thinking was that whom ever decides to tackle this issue will have to go through the process of installing and uninstalling the current version of Git since it likely changed some entries in the registry. In other words, with evidenced based engineering I thought that there is no way to fix this issue without actually going though this tedious task. I wonder if a power shell guru could spit out all the orphan keys and values.
