To clarify: git works on Windows. Most of the time, that is. But
all
those changes that were necessary to go there have not yet found
their way
into the official git.git repository.
I, for one, appreciate all the hard work invested in that.
While we are at that: can you (or someone else) point me to
instructions on how to build the MinGW port of GIT? I found a tarball
of the MinGW-ported GIT (v1.5.3, I think), but what I don't seem to be
able to find is some kind of HOWTO: what tools I need to have
installed, how to configure them (if there are any special issues
there), what command(s) to type, etc. Is there anything like that out
there, or can someone post such instructions?
If you want to have a full working development environment, such that
you can start contributing to msysgit right away, and have no firewall
issues, go to
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/
and install GitMe, currently
http://msysgit.googlecode.com/files/GitMe-0.4.2.exe
If you only care about an end-user setup, which contains only the git
binaries on your system, but no tools to compile them, stay tuned for
one or two days. We'll release an updated installer soon.
