Help for installing on windows

+1 On this error.
Getting the same exact error output on my windows install.

(Although it seems this issue is not System-Specific I'll fill out an issue template aswell.)

• The output of thefuck --version (something like The Fuck 3.1 using Python 3.5.0 and Bash 4.4.12(1)-release):

Still getting the same issue on thefuck 3.32 and PowerShell 7.4.1.

Looking at mentioned commit, the page gives a warning

This commit does not belong to any branch on this repository, and may belong to a fork outside of the repository.

Comparing it to the current main branch, it looks like imp is still in place (red is main, green is suggested fix).

@Theblackcat98 did you suggest this change in a PR that you could reference?

Did the fix magically disappear? :)
