git-bash

I understand that Windows uses CRLF and that it's good practice to let Git change line endings to LF before committing and back to CRLF when checking out. For that reason, I have core.autocrlf set to true. However, contrary to what other threads say (e.g., this ), I am still getting this warning: warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in [FILE_NAME]. The file will have its original line endings in your working directory. Firstly, I thought setting core.autocrlf to true was supposed to stop these warnings. Secondly, isn't Git supposed to convert LF to CRLF when committing, not the other way

I had the same issue as Python not working in the command line of git bash , where in Git Bash, when I type Python , it just hangs. However, typing winpty python works perfectly. What exactly is winpty ? Why is the above command useful? winpty is A Windows software package providing an interface similar to a Unix pty-master for communicating with Windows console programs. That is why you need it as described here : The software works by starting the winpty-agent.exe process with a new, hidden console window, which bridges between the console API and terminal input/output escape codes. It polls

I was using msysgit and git-bash in cmder when I accidentally exited out of it. Now I can't seem to figure out how to get to the unix environment I previously had. Git bash is not recognized as a command. All I see is the typical command window prompt displaying the C:/User/.. rather than the $~User . How would you restore the git bash session? VonC You can type the full path of your msysgit intallation (2014, Git 1.9.z) to launch a bash session. For instance: "c:\prgs\git\PortableGit-1.9.0-preview20140217\Git Bash.vbs" : will open a new windows "c:\prgs\git\PortableGit-1.9.0-preview20140217

When I punch from the windows gitbash command line: set $HOME = c and do : echo $HOME It does not set it to c ? How can I change/set the value of an environment variable? A normal variable is set by simply assigning it a value; note that no whitespace is allowed around the = : HOME=c An environment variable is a regular variable that has been marked for export to the environment. export HOME HOME=c You can combine the assignment with the export statement. export HOME=c If you want to set environment variables permanently in Git-Bash, you have two options: Set a regular Windows environment

I have the following problem when I try to pull code, using GIT Bash on windows I already tried to implement the accepted solution provided here: Error when push commits with Github: fatal: could not read Username but the problem persists. After adding/removing origin I still get the same error. fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': No such file or directory Follow the steps to setup SSH keys here: https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys OR git remote add origin https://{username}:{password}@github.com/{username}/project.git Fayaz I faced the exact same problem.

This is what I did: cd ~ touch .bashrc notepad .bashrc and the content of my .bashrc is (found on the web somewhere): SSH_ENV="$HOME/.ssh/environment" # start the ssh-agent function start_agent { echo "Initializing new SSH agent..." # spawn ssh-agent ssh-agent | sed 's/^echo/#echo/' > "$SSH_ENV" echo succeeded chmod 600 "$SSH_ENV" . "$SSH_ENV" > /dev/null ssh-add } # test for identities function test_identities { # test whether standard identities have been added to the agent already ssh-add -l | grep "The agent has no identities" > /dev/null if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then ssh-add # $SSH_AUTH_SOCK
