exec: "absolute\\path\\to\\hub.exe.exe": file does not exist

[zmni]

Command attempted:
git help <hub-command>

What happened:
I set git as an alias for hub with Set-Alias -Name git -Value "absolute\path\to\hub.exe". And it works. But only the above command caused this problem.

More info:

1. Put Set-Alias -Name git -Value "absolute\path\to\hub.exe" in your PowerShell profile.
2. Reload $PROFILE and run git help <hub-command>

Windows 8.1 x64
git version 2.22.0.windows.1
hub version 2.13.0

Sorry to hear you're having trouble!

This works for me:

Set-Alias -Name git -Value "C:\Users\Mislav\AppData\Local\GitHubCLI\bin\hub.exe"

git help fork

Can you paste the exact git help ... command you've ran and the error message? You can scrub sensitive directory names from the path if needed

This is what I put in my $PROFILE:

Set-Alias -Name git -Value "$env:Bin\github\bin\hub.exe"

hub.exe is not in $env:Path and I use a environtment variable in the path to hub binary, that is also an absolute path right? If not, maybe the admin can change the title of this issue.

Thank you! You've helped me find the bug. 🙇
