[GUIDE] How to "check out" GIThub from Windows

[Auntie Mangos]

There were some other threads as well (http://getmangos.eu/community/viewtopic.php?id=4027 for example), but I see this one is "classified" as guide.

It would be nice to see here how reset is done (that thing with git-reset --hard) together with cleaning non-tracking files (git-clean -f -d), applying a patch using GNU patch(1) (even included in msysgit) as well as with git-apply ..

[Majere]

Hi,

I noticed someone have this problem, so it's a guide:

1. Install Git-1.6.0.2-preview20080923.exe from http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list

2.In the installer select the ssh option

3. Now launch the GIT bash from Start -> All programs -> GIT -> GIT Bash

4. Type the following command

$ git clone [url]git://github.com/mangos/mangos.git[/url] mangos

* You don't need to type the "$", it's alredy there

5. When the process ends, you will find the MaNGOS sources @ C:\\Users\\$YourUserName\\mangos (Vista) or @ C:\\Documents and Settings\\$YourUserName\\mangos (XP)

I hope this can help you, greetings, Majere

thank you Majere

How to use git through SQUID proxy from windows? Any idea?

How to use git through SQUID proxy from windows? Any idea?

man git-config

core.gitProxy

A "proxy command" to execute (as command host port) instead of establishing direct connection to the remote server when using the git protocol for fetching. If the variable value is in the "COMMAND for DOMAIN" format, the command is applied only on hostnames ending with the specified domain string. This variable may be set multiple times and is matched in the given order; the first match wins.

Can be overridden by the GIT_PROXY_COMMAND environment variable (which always applies universally, without the special "for" handling).

http.proxy

Override the HTTP proxy, normally configured using the http_proxy environment variable (see curl(1)). This can be overridden on a per-remote basis; see remote.<name>.proxy

remote.<name>.proxy

For remotes that require curl (http, https and ftp), the URL to the proxy to use for that remote. Set to the empty string to disable proxying for that remote.

... or use some wrapper.

How in the world to you revert back to a revision? Or does Git not even have that?

git reset --hard <revspec>

where <revspec> can be absolute "link" -- ie. the SHA1 of a commit

or it can be relative, like HEAD~4 (4 revs back), HEAD^^2 (2 revs back to the second merge parent)

...

[freghar]

Can someone tell me how can I set GIT_DIR variable?

GIT_DIR="/path/to/it"

[dabyv]

about that i can say

google not support many of countrys

for any one can't download git from google i say go and download

a anti proxy software

like freegate from http://www.download.com

and after use that you can download any software and go to any site

good luck

[thyphoon]

Use:

$ export HTTP_PROXY="http://username:Password@server:Port"

What if I have a proxy that doesnt need username or password? it should go like this?:

$ export HTTP_PROXY="http://@server:Port"

how to merge two branches under windows?

[freghar]

thyphoon: without the @ .. it's a standard URI - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URI

protocol://username:Password@server_address:Port/path/to/file.txt

it's minimal form is a protocol+server_address.

laflare: use the shiny search button at the top of this page

TheLuda: Make the search button blink, please.
