Running "git istage" doesn't work on Unix

To be honest, I haven't tested Unix/macOS yet so I'd understand why that would fail. Not sure why the Windows ones fail though. I'll investigate.

I have also checked on Mac OSX ( macOS High Sierra Version 10.13.3 ), it does not even understand the istage command.

I did the following steps:

1. dotnet new install -g git-istage
2. In a git dircetory I ran : git istage .

and I failed with the an error message:

git: 'istage' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

The most similar command is
	stage

here is the output for dotnet --info

The funny thing is that git-istage seems work though. And when I say Unix, I really mean macOS.

[scott-mitchell]

It works for me on OSX high sierra 10.3.16 with both zsh or bash

Steps:

1. dotnet tool install -g git-istage
2. add the dotnet tools directory (~/.dotnet/tools/ for me) to PATH, and mirror the addition in .zshrc for future use
3. navigate to a git repository and run git istage

Indeed, also working for me on OSX. On Windows still failing (I'll continue in #12 which tracks this on Windows, AFAICT).

[shahabganji]

If using environment variables it should be set like this. in the #22 one $ was missed here

OK, closing as won't fix then
