Currently, it doesn't seem like VS Code and other IDEs pick up the git-ai-wrapped git binary the same way that they do on macos and linux.

github.com/microsoft/vscode@c5b279beca/extensions/git/src/git.ts (L147)

VS Code doesn't respect actually respect the Path env var on Windows for locating git. It first looks in common paths before checking if it can find git.exe in the Path env var.

We will have to add a step to install-hooks to patch (while preserving comments and structure) of the settings.json for VSC/Cursor

Probably also part of #120
