This is a known issue that lazygit is currently not installable via winget, see

and just now, @stephengillie - huge kudos for baring with this issue and testing! - kindly posted and update in https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/107885#issuecomment-1867875921 which I'm copying below

2023/05/23 17:57:57 Git version must be at least 2.0 (i.e. from 2014 onwards). Please upgrade your git version. Alternatively raise an issue at https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/issues for lazygit to be more backwards compatible.

FYI, lazygit 0.40.2 installs for me fine on Windows 11 with winget v1.7.3481-preview:

It runs fine too, in Windows Terminal with PowerShell 7.4

yep 0.40.2 works (for me as well) -> so I installed this specific version with: winget add -s winget --scope user --id JesseDuffield.lazygit -v 0.40.2 which is fine for now ... until newer version gets stabilized, I guess. the newest version on winget ie 0.41.0 gives a bunch of /home/... and two /opt/... errors when calling lazygit: Errors encountered:

and after that exits/fails.
This happens irrespective if command lazygit is executed in a git repo folder or not. My OS is Win10 Pro. Git version is: git version 2.44.0.windows.1
