Hi guys, i'm trying to make a new meltano project. It seems i have a problem because you need administrator privilege. And then i tried to
add extractor tap-gitlab
and it's error saying
ERROR: Error [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified while executing command git version
What am i doing wrong?

The first warning about the symlink not being created I would not be concerned by since it looks like you have no issue calling Meltano from the console. In regards to the git error, you are doing nothing wrong. it is an unlisted requirement that you need git installed. Meltano calls git directly in its code. You need to install it when using Windows since it does not have git available by default like Mac and Linux.

that's correct, making a note of adding it to the docs that git is required for many plugins
