[BUG] git is unable to add 'git-core' to the PATH when it is run using npm scripts #1487
Description
What / Why
I'm running Windows 10 build 19041, npm version 6.14.4, and git version 2.27.0.windows.1.
When I run git submodule, it works as expected and exits without error. But when I create an npm script in my package.json like this:
"scripts": {
"sth": "git submodule"
}
And try to run it like npm run sth, it gives me this error:
> test-project@0.1.0 sth D:\...\test-project
> git submodule
D:/Program_Files/Git/mingw64/libexec/git-core\git-submodule: line 22: .: git-sh-setup: file not found
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE

How
When git is run from an npm script, it cannot add the git-core path to the PATH environment variable, and it fails to execute its bash scripts.
Current Behavior
When I run git submodule normally, this is prepended to the PATH:
/mingw64/libexec/git-core
But when I run it from within an npm script, this is instead prepended:
/d/Program_Files/nodejs/node_modules/npm/node_modules/npm-lifecycle/node-gyp-bin:/d/Shayan/MyDocuments/Coding/SampleProject/node_modules/.bin
(I got this info by adding a line (echo "$PATH") to my git-submodule script in git's installation directory.)
Steps to Reproduce
Add a script like "sth": "git submodule" to your package.json and run it like npm run sth.
Expected Behavior
When I run git submodule from within an npm script, git-core path is also prepended in addition to npm-related paths. I expect my PATH environment variable to look like this:
/mingw64/libexec/git-core:/d/Program_Files/nodejs/node_modules/npm/node_modules/npm-lifecycle/node-gyp-bin:/d/Shayan/MyDocuments/Coding/SampleProject/node_modules/.bin
