msysgit

I've just started using Git and it's possible I've missed something obvious, but here goes: I'm using msysgit 1.6.2.2 on Windows XP While installing, I picked option 1 to "Use Git Bash only" I'm trying to put together a wrapper script that I can use to replace the built in git diff with DiffMerge. Based on this thread on SO, I created the following batch file: @echo off REM ---- Switch forward slashes to back slashes ---- set oldW=%2 set oldW=%oldW:/=\% set newW=%5 set newW=%newW:/=\% REM ---- Launch DiffMerge ---- "C:/Programs/SourceGear/DiffMerge/DiffMerge.exe" /title1="Old Version" %oldW%

I've got msysGit (Git on Windows) working just fine on my home machine, but at work, where we are behind a Microsoft ISA proxy, I get the following error when I do a git clone: H:\>git clone git://github.com/akitaonrails/vimfiles.git Initialized empty Git repository in H:/vimfiles/.git/ github.com[0: 65.74.177.129]: errno=Invalid argument fatal: unable to connect a socket (Invalid argument) I've tried setting the http_proxy environment variable to: http://our-proxy-server:8088 I've set the git http.proxy configuration directive: git config --global http.proxy http://our-proxy-server:8088

I'm using msysgit 1.7.7.1 on Windows. I get an error when using git diff . What is causing this? Is there no diff tool included in msysgit? What should I do? WARNING: terminal is not fully functional manojlds For Git Bash, this can be fixed by adding the following line to ~/.bashrc: export TERM=cygwin -or- export TERM=msys The first seems to be the original by git for windows, the second a popular known form to "heal" as well. The problem can be caused if some other program (like for example Strawberry Perl ) sets the TERM system environment variables. http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues

Recently I've been unable to clone or push to github, and I'm trying to find the root cause. This is on windows I have cygwin + git as well as msysgit. Msysgit was installed with the following options: OpenSSH Use Git from Windows Command Prompt That gives me 4 environments to try to use git in: Windows cmd prompt Powershell Git Bash Cygwin Somehow I've managed to get myself into a position where when I try to clone a repository using msysgit, cmd.exe, or Powershell, I get the following error: > Initialized empty Git repository in > C:/sandbox/SomeProject/.git/ > @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

I have msysgit installed with OpenSSH option. In Git bash, I can run ssh-agent, and it manages the passphrase for my ssh key. Is it possible for the Hudson Git plugin to use ssh-agent? Currently, it hangs when trying to clone, no doubt waiting for the passphrase to be entered. Thanks! VonC As mentioned in "Problem with Hudson + Git + Gitosis on windows" , you need to make sure the Hudson job does set first a %HOME% environment variable. That value must refer to the directory where you can find: .ssh id_rsa # private key id_rsa.pub # public key I've just had this exact same problem but in my

I'm trying to use Araxis Merge as my diff / merge tool for MSYSGit. I found a few resources on the net: On the Araxis site , they mention an "easy" way, but it implies a executables (araxisgitdiff.exe and araxisgitmerge.exe) that are not part of my distro. I also found some info in gitguru , but the actual information re: Araxis is sparse at best, and I could not make anything out of that. Finally, there was some info on an older stackoverflow post , but the suggested method doesn't work for me. That particular info was geared towards OS X. I "translated" to Windows as best as I could, but
