TODO - add my notes, and scripts
git >
Provides a reasonable environment for working with git while trapped on Windows . A console window with bash , various everyday linux console applications, and git.
I love it, and use it regularly for sane scripting when trapped on Windows, via bash, as well as for git itself.
2017-07-03 - 2.13.2 64-bit ∞
2016-10-16 - 2.10.1 64-bit ∞
(no notes were taken)
2016-03-21 - 2.7.4 64-bit ∞
\git config --global core.pager "less -r"
2016-01-30 - 2.7.0 64-bit ∞
When installing, select "Checkout as-is, commit as-is".
bash was updated to version 4.3.42(5)-release (x86_64-pc-msys)
Omgomgomg ln works as-expected.
No wait, it doesn't. I have to figure out some sort of alias thing, except I can't run mklink from within this shell. =/ Oh, to dream the dream.
Running a GUI app and then closing the window kills the window. I need to investigate the bash setting to have that not happen any more. It's been a while since I used Bash. I can executable & just fine, but when ^d in the terminal, it hangs open until I alt-f4 to close it. Through all that, the gui executable stays up, so it's not a terrible workaround.
I no longer have to use a provided .vbs to run the console. I can just make an everyday shortcut
C:\Program Files\Git\git-bash.exe
Then I can edit that target shortcut and set its hotkey to something like control-alt-s.
I can use the hotkey to open multiple prompts.
Nano is giving me "redirection not supported". I think this is an alias issue. I'm getting "cannot execute binary file", I think because it's a 32-bit executable. Blargh, I'm just going to replace nano.I can now trivially resize the window and the console deal with it as-expected.
The default font is stupid.
Consolas-11 seems a little cartoony but readable.
I wish I had my Unicode VGA font .
Shift pageup/pagedown work as-expected.
Configuration ∞
earlier than 2016-01-30 - Git-1.9.5-preview20141217 ∞
bash , version 3.1.20(4)-release (i686-pc-msys) is old.
As of 2016-01-30 the latest stable is 4.3.30, released 2014-11-07.
I've run into issues with some of the included tools being old.
Shift pageup/pagedown don't change the scrolling. Instead, the screen goes white.
I can't resize the window and have the text flow properly.
I had to go through all sorts of hoops, and I only just now thought to check for an update. It's had a major release.
