You totally can! GitHub for Windows's Git Shell just takes less work to set up. You need to have Posix tools in your `%PATH%` (i.e. `grep`, `sed`, et al.), which isn't the default configuration when you install Git. To fix this, you probably need to fiddle with your system PATH.
## Troubleshooting
Some of the most common errors include:
gyp WARN install got an error, rolling back install
and
>> The system cannot find the path specified.
These two error messages can usually be ignored. The solution to these errors is to re-run `script\build`, possibly several times.
If your Visual Studio is in a non-standard location, and you get the error `You must have Visual Studio 2010 or 2012 installed`, you need to modify `apm\node_modules\atom-package-manager\lib\config.js` around line 90 and replace the variable with your Visual Studio directory plus Common7/IDE.
Example:
vs2010Path = "H:/VS2010/Common7/IDE"
