cannot associate program with context menu action

  • Run regedit.exe
  • Go to

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Directory/Background/shell/GitKraken/command

  • Change

    "%somedir%\gitkraken\update.exe" --processStart=gitkraken.exe --process-start-args="-p %L"

    to

    "%somedir%\gitkraken\update.exe" --processStart=gitkraken.exe --process-start-args="-p %V"


This context menu item will work as you would expect if you right click the .git folder itself.

Apologies for answering on a very old thread but I was having this problem myself recently so maybe it will help someone in the future.
