I'm running git 2.8.1 Setup, I want to be careful with this since I will be developing mobile apps. I'm at the part where it's asking "Which terminal emulator do you want to use with your Git Bash?" And with choices of the following:

• Use MinTTY(the default terminal of MSYS2)
• Use Windows' default console window

Which is the best choice for me if I'm running a Windows 7 x64 Operating system and will be developing mobile applications? And if by any chance can someone explain their difference(s) or send a link for information. Thanks in advance!

回答1:

In my opinion, you should use MinTTY regardless of other stuff. Even MiTTY has no advantage, windows' default console window('cmd') has lots of disadvantages. cmd has a very limited default history scroll-back stack and terrible font encoding and so forth. By contrast, MinTTY has resizeable window and other useful configurable options that could be open through right-click on toolbar of git-bash.

回答2:

First choice will not add git commands to your PATH environment variable, you need open a MSYS2 terminal to execute git in terminal.

For second choice, you can use git commands in your windows default console.

Beside, the most different matter I think is that, windows' default console use \ as path separator, MSYS2 use /.
