msysgit's Introduction

This is the copy of msysGit that ships with GitHub for Windows.

This is the build environment -- also known as msysGit -- for Git for Windows.

How to make changes

Make sure you have ./ in your $PATH, probably via ~/.bashrc
Make your changes on the devel branch
Run msys.bat
Inside the bash shell, run ghfw-release.sh

This will build a portable Git release and check it in to the PortableGit branch. Now you can push your changes to origin.

Updating git-tfs

Make sure you're in devel (or a branch of it) and not PortableGit
Download the latest git-tfs .zip from https://github.com/git-tfs/git-tfs/releases
Invoke .\share\git-tfs\extract-git-tfs.ps1 path-to-zip-file

Repository structure

This repository has two important branches: devel, and PortableGit.

`devel`

This is the main branch of the repository, and is periodically synced with msysgit/msysgit@devel. This branch contains all of the msysGit source code, Git source code, Git documentation, and supporting build scripts.

`PortableGit`

This branch is generated from the devel branch. Changes should never be made by hand to this branch, except to the .gitattributes and .gitignore files at the root of the repository.
