Error installing plugs in Git Bash

[mcandre]

All mah :PlugInstall's fail in Command Prompt, with errors about missing find, and cd having too many arguments. Could the :PlugInstall implementation be refactored to not rely so much on GNU coreutils, but use Vim capabilities instead? That would help improve cross-compatibility with Windows environments.

with errors about missing find, and cd having too many arguments.

vim-plug does not internally use find command, so I'm not really sure how you got the error. What were the exact error messages?

[janlazo]

Why use set shell=bash\ -i unconditionally, even in Windows?
Is this for cygwin Vim only?

[janlazo]

#860 is merged which should resolve this issue (assuming that git bash is installed correctly and %PATH% is updated correctly). Use scoop to install git and busybox (for bash and Unix utils) if the situation persists.
