VSCode on Windows #307

Comments from chat, September 2025 workshop:

TP: VSCode on windows:
IT might use powershell, which doesn't necessarily have less as a pager and thus might cause issues, when sing things like git log / git annotate and wanting to search for something.
If someone has a windows machine and could test what to do on powershell and add it to the docs that would be great.
TP: From what I can find: git for windows ships with less, so having that in "windows specific installations" could be an option, if it's not in there already.
RD: Also needs to be cross-checked with the anaconda prompt. Maybe it used cmd.com or whatever which doesn't support pagers. And running git in that with a pager made no output.
