[Bug] Scoop import not working due to missing Git

[milnak]

Follow up to #5251

still seems broken. I followed the same steps with 0.3.1 and still see the git error, and age isn't installed.

I realize that scoop policy is not to install git without user consent, but shouldn't the import fail if it gets an error?

after installing git and re-running it works, so it seems that if import ERRORs, it should not continue.

Git is a must have component for buckets, will be fixed soon. @rashil2000

Hmm, I think we can put a condition check for Git and for non-Main bucket before this line:

Scoop/libexec/scoop-import.ps1

Line 32 in f930280

add_bucket $item.Name $item.Source | Out-Null

And exit immediately if git command is not found.

We could just install git there, before importing buckets (if there's non-main) and other apps.

[rashil2000]

Not in favour of installing Git automatically... because people might use Git from somewhere else.

But, we can check if the apps list contains main/git, if it does then we can install it automatically. If it doesn't, then we can fail gracefully.

If git is installed, buckets will be added without error. Or maybe in fresh PC, git is installed after scoop?
