The notebook I installed msysgit on was running Vista, and I created "GitFarms" in my "$HOME directory".
Then for my git experiments in this environment, I created "GitFarms" directory and moved into it:īy the way, I just mentioned "$HOME/.gitconfig", but this was my first encounter with msysgit environment, and I do not exactly know where my $HOME actually is. While you are at it, you might also want to set ui.color to "auto", and "tocrlf" to "false". $ git config -global user.email set this information globally (aka "in $HOME/.gitconfig"), so that it would apply to any repository you will have on this machine. $ git config -global user.name "Junio C Hamano" You run (of course, not with my name and address but replacing the values in the example with your own):

This is not necessary on a well managed UNIX host whose hostname is properly set to return where your e-mails should go, and whose user database records your human readable name in its GECOS field, but it certainly is necessary on a Windows host and probably on many amateur home installations of Linux boxes as well. The first order of business is to tell git who you are. I think msysgit team did a good job finding a reasonable wording that makes it clear that the notice is merely informational, letting the end-user know about his/her rights, and making sure that the user can proceed without having to agree nor disagree to anything.Īfter a few more pages playing with the Wizard to reach the completion, I had a git icon on my menu bar. The page to review GPLv2 is still there, and I recall a controversy about it a few months ago. After re-downloading with wget to my primary machine and copying it from there, it launched a user friendly (aka bozo proof) "Setup Wizard": This must be where some mistaken "corrupt upload" reports I occasionally see on the msysgit mailing list come from (no, I am not subscribed to it, but sometimes peek at it through gmane). It was fun especially because I usually do not use these GUI tools, and in this "tutorial", I try to do many things that I usually do from the command line without GUI.ĭownloading from inside FireFox gave me a file that was only 5MB or so large without any indication of errors, even though while downloading the progress bar claimed that the final size should be around 8.3MB. I was pleasantly impressed -) I am so pleased that I decided to write about my experience, with some "git tutorial" sprinkled in. 03:40 pm - Fun with msysgit 1.6.1 previewĮven though I almost never use Windows, I tried msysgit 1.6.1 preview today to see how it got improved since the last time I tried it, which was back when it still was called WinGit.
