Andrew Grieve commented on CB-6208:
-----------------------------------

I think you only need git when you install a plugin from a git URL. Installing 
via the registry (by ID), does not require git. I don't think we should list 
git a strict dependency. npm works in the same way.

> Docs do not mention Git requirement for plugin adding

> Twice now I've run into people who have an issue adding a plugin because they 
> don't have Git installed. While the error is pretty clear, it is in the 
> middle of a bunch of other output and the docs should note that this is a 
> dependancy. To be fair, it isn't necessarily something you need to run a CLI, 
> but as soon as you add a plugin (which is pretty much *always* required now), 
> you run into it.
