Performance
Optimized for Windows, Git for Windows takes advantage of platform-specific enhancements and performs efficiently in Windows environments.
I use windows, mac and linux basically interchangeably for coding. For windows, I install the Git Bash package [https://gitforwindows.org/] and then just use chocolatey as a package manager for stuff like python and node.js. Bash gives me a completely functional commandline with my C drive mounted as `/c`, and I can write code using VSCode. I don’t really have issues. With this setup, it operates indistinguishably…

Alright thanks, I installed from https://gitforwindows.org/ btw. Are people downvoting me for having a question or for using windows? Either way I don’t get it.

1) try typing “git bash” in the explorer to see if you have it. If not you can download it at https://gitforwindows.org/ (there’s plenty of other sources, simply search how to install git on windows if you want alternatives).

One alternative you could try.. I’ve set up a docker environment to build things and set it up. It would require you to install some tools if you don’t have: Git and Docker Desktop for Windows.

Try to install msys2 (https://www.msys2.org), start the msys2 terminal (it is mintty) and then install tmux with pacman -S tmux. You can use this executable also with Git Bash (Git for Windows). Another solution is to install Git for windows SDK (https://gitforwindows.org), it is what I choose, but the installation size is very large.

For at least the past 7 years I’ve installed ‘Git for Windows'[1] on every Windows PC I use. Git for Windows comes with bash (my primary shell on Windows) plus a full suite of *nix utilities including Perl, awk, sed, pdftotext, ssh and many more. This has sufficed as my primary scripting platform on Windows, with the intended benefit that my scripts are mostly portable to Linux. [1] https://gitforwindows.org/.

I’ve since found that dev workflows in Windows work pretty damn good now, actually. I hate PowerShell so I still don’t use it, but I now use Nushell, Cmder, and Git-Bash as my shells within the native Windows terminal emulator and it’s actually pretty damn good and very close to the Unix experience. I actually like the native Windows terminal more than Kitty and would switch to it on my Ubuntu machine and my…

I’ve created a GitHub issue from which you can track the progress on implementing this. In the meantime, you can run Buildarr as a standalone application using command line tools (such as Git for Windows combined with Python for Windows) if you’re inclined.

These instructions will work on most unix/Linux systems. If you are using Windows, you can use WSL or Git Bash.

Recently, someone convinced me to give it another shot with Windows proper, they said Microsoft had really started fixing it up. I can’t stand PowerShell though, so I just downloaded Git-Bash and set it up to be my default shell (along with nushell for some things.

For windows you can download Git Bash. From there learning commands like git commit and git push will take a few hours/days to get comfortable with but will be invaluable skills for later if you decide to continue with development as a career.

There is also an open-source project called Git for Windows, which is separate from the official Git website. This tool provides both command line and graphical user interface tools for using Git effectively on your Windows machine. For more information about this project and to inspect and download the code, visit the Git for Windows project site.
