Ironruby core - Apr 2009 - What works for you when you use git on windows ?

I use msysgit with openssl.. that works properly for me.
The thing is that when the installer asks you how much it can mess with your
system. that you choose the second option so you can use it with powershell
or cmd

Hi Ivan,

thanks - based on your input I could narrow the issue and managed to
pull the code out.

In case that''s useful to someone else: if you have accents in your
name and have trouble pulling from git, check out c:\documents and
settings - I had 3 folders instead of one here ("Barr?re" and
corrupted versions).

The fix was to:
- remove all duplicate folders
- uninstall cygwin, tortoisegit and msysgit
- reinstall msysgit
- add the following line at the top of c:\program files\git\etc\profile
  export HOME="/c/program files/git/home"
- create the git/home folder
- recreate the ssh key following github guidelines at
http://github.com/guides/providing-your-ssh-key#msysGit

cheers, thanks again,

-- Thibaut

Hi Thibaut,

I use msysgit 1.6.2 configured to run with openssl (plink gave me
problems in the past with msysgit < 1.6) and I choose "Run Git from
the windows command prompt" when asked for adjustments of the PATH.
Also, I choose "Commit line endings as they are" just to have control
of what and how I am committing.
