Git python is not trivial to install on Windows. It is native to Linux so needs some sort of emulator to work.
As I said above I suspect very few Windows users have git python installed. (I don't.)

Just follow the link above to download the macro directly and load it into your macro folder in C:\\Users\#####\FreeCAD\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD\Macro. It should be available when you open FreeCAD.

ok - I have downloaded macros manually in the not too distant past so should be able to take this approach. Was wondering if perhaps there might be some simple solution to addon approach.
Thanks for the advice !

EDIT - Yup ! Seems I didn't forget how to install the macros manually. Works like a charm. Thanks Mark !

New version is now 0.2022.01.19. There was a typo in the source code.

I tried the manual install i.e. created a new macro and pasted the file in. I ran the macro and got a popup asking to create a file, did that. Did I miss some directions, not really sure what to do now. If I try to run the macro again I get this.

Name the new file Bevel.FCMacro (it expects this filename). Then run it to create the new file.

That worked. I will do some testing. I haven't grasped the selection process as yet.
Thanks.
This is interesting, adding features via a macro.

FreeCAD is my first look at open source and I always thought that it could/should work like this, where a macro is written and then tested in Master until it gets accepted, and then incorporated. There are so many macros and man hours that might get lost because of no maintenance or the coder leaves.

I also like the install where the user is informed of file installation.
