How can I fix this error when trying to install Oh-My-Fish?

I am using fish via Cygwin on Windows 10; whenever I try to install OMF, I am presented with this error:
curl -L https://get.oh-my.fish | fish.exe

Checking for a sane environment...
Install aborted: /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Git/cmd/git is Git for Windows which is not supported.
It implies that Git for Windows is not supported by OMF, but surely this isn't the case because I have seen several posts on GitHub that begin with something along the lines of:
After installing OMF on my Windows machine...
which implies that the installation was successful and thus can be achieved.
Is there a resolution to this?

Which one you use for your daily work does not really matter. They may just differ in terms of functionality. You may even continue using the Windows Git; but for the installation of oh-my-fish, you could probably override the path temporarily, so that it'll continue.

The Git you are using is the one installed with the Git for Windows installer.
When you install Git via Cygwin, you will get another git executable. Which one you use for your daily work does not really matter. They may just differ in terms of functionality or compatibility (e.g., the Windows Git comes with some shell extensions for Windows Explorer).
Once you have installed Git via the Cygwin installer, check your Git executables:
which -a git
This will list the order of preference. For the installation of oh-my-fish, make sure that Cygwin Git comes first (/usr/bin/git), so that it'll continue with the installation.
You can then switch back to whatever Git you want to use for your daily work by overriding the path, e.g. by adding this to your shell profile:
export PATH="/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Git/cmd/:$PATH"

This is helpful, thank you. As per my comment in the original question, I finished installing Git via Cygwin and it now works. I ranwhich -a gitand got this (I have denote a new line with;):/bin/git; /usr/bin/git; /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Git/cmd/git. However, after installing OMF, it significantly slowed down the CLI, so I have removed it for now but will look into why that happened another time.
