msysgit

I'm trying to add a function to my bash_profile for msysgit : function git-unpushed { brinfo=$(git branch -v | grep git-branch-name) if [[ $brinfo =~ ("[ahead "([[:digit:]]*)]) ]] then echo "(${BASH_REMATCH[2]})" fi } But I get the following error: bash: conditional binary operator expected` bash: syntax error near =~' From what I can find, the "equals tilde" operator ( =~ ) evaluates as regex in bash. Why is =~ is throwing an error? UPDATE: Here's a screenshot of inputting it manually (this is running sh.exe): VonC Update 2015: msysgit is now obsolete. You should use the bash which comes with

I need help getting git extensions to run with msysgit. I have had bad luck with extensions git-tfs and git-fetchall, in both cases it is the same problem. The addon will require a file to be placed where git can find it (git-tfs.exe and git-fetchall.sh). I understand this to mean the files need to be in a directory that is in the 'PATH' environment variable. In both cases I get stuck at this point: $ git-diffall bash: git-diffall: command not found or: $ git-tfs bash: git-tfs: command not found When I run echo %PATH% from a regular command shell, it shows my path variable includes the

After migrating to Windows, I'm using msysgit with its included bash shell, and that's working well for me. But I have issues: our ant build process won't run in that shell, I'd like to use Cygwin's xterms instead of the Windows command window, since the terminal compatibility isn't good enough to run everything else I'd like in that window, and so on. I've actually made a go of sticking with msysgit in the Windows command shell so that I don't have to use a separate window to build, but that's got even more problems: the lack of cd - and file completion is killing me, most of the commands I'd

When I try adding textures and text files to my repo it all works, but when I try adding a .blend file I get this error. I've tried a bunch of things I found here and on google, none of them worked (all were for clone/pull commands) I'm using Tortoise git 1.7.8 and Git 1.7.10 msysgit - I changed to them after the latest builds failed. Others have no problem pushing things to the repo, but I did not send them the .blend file. Here is the output: Pushing to ssh://git@x.x.x:x/home/git/gitrepo Counting objects: 4, done. Compressing objects: 100% (3/3) Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 112.00 KiB | 116

I'm encountering a weird issue with .gitignore on Windows. I want git to ignore all .exe files, except those in the Dependencies folder (and all subfolders). So I have: .gitignore : *.exe !/Dependencies/**/*.exe This, unfortunately, does not work. Meanwhile, this does: *.exe !/Dependencies/folder/subfolder/*.exe So I'm wondering, am I messing something up, or is this some kind of bug? I'm running msysgit on Windows (Windows 7 x64) version 1.6.5.1-preview20091022 Thanks in advance for any input :) Since git 1.8.2 (March, 8th 2013) , the ** is now supported: The patterns in .gitignore and

I'm trying to setup a Git server on Windows 7, using CopSsh, PuTTY and msysgit. I'm having problems cloning a repository using ssh. If I use a regular directory path, it works: $ git clone ~/vc/git/depot/test.git/ /c/dev/es/app Initialized empty Git repository in c:/dev/es/app/.git/ warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository. Ssh, doesn't work. I've tried an different paths without success. $ git clone ssh://steve@test:4837/~/vc/git/depot/test.git/ /c/dev/es/app Initialized empty Git repository in c:/dev/es/app/.git/ fatal: '~/vc/git/depot/eastApp.git' does not appear to be a git

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
