Support Cygwin about gitgutter HOT 12 CLOSED

Are you not able to use the git path setting to solve this?

from gitgutter.

No, the problem is that git Cygwin can take in Windows style path, but always return UNIX style path. So GitGutter would get wrong style path and never find git repo.

I would recomment using git for windows if you need to use windows programs that interact with git.

I added C:\cygwin\bin to my windows PATH, and my "Cygwin" git works fine with GitGutter

@saamalik Are you sure that you don't have a second git installed ? Because it doesn't work for me.

from gitgutter.

I'm positive I don't have another git installed:

Where git:

C:\Windows\System32>where git
C:\cygwin\bin\git.exe

And my PATH

C:\Windows\System32>echo %PATH%
C:\Ruby200-x64\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Program  Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_13\bin;C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform-tools;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\cygwin\bin

@saamalik I'll have a try. Currently I use git from Github for Windows to solve the problem.

@michael911009 I installed Cygwin / Sublime Text 3 on my home computer, and GitGutter works as expected with cygwin git.

@xu-cheng were you able to get it working?

from gitgutter.

No it never worked for me. But I have already moved to Mac, haven't used Cygwin for a while.

from gitgutter.

Well I am going to go ahead and close this then.

from gitgutter.

I've been using cygwin git with GitGutter for the past 8 months--no issues.
