I tend install git via Chocolately then use a GUI for my day to day work. If you a fan of GUI’s or just getting started this is great place to get started as you don’t have to worry about the command line or setting up command PATH’s. The key here is that all of them come with git installed. I don’t want to get into the battle of the best GUI for git as they all have pros and cons. emulator (no quick shortcuts to open without other tools, can be less responsive).brings copy/paste, resizing and more options to command prompt in older versions of Windows.You install it by downloading the “Full” option on the Cmder page. Some of the other features it brings along are portability (which is great if you are running events), keyboard shortcuts like copy and paste, easy aliasing, and more. I always choose the larger install option, as it comes with git (again Git for Windows) and the BASH tools all hooked up. The command line experience in older versions of Windows is poor (no resize/copy paste) and Cmder brings together a set of awesome tools to make a great command line experience. This was my go to option before Windows 10 and would be what I recommend for anyone not using Windows 10. have to have Chocolately installed (though really easy to set up and over all awesome tool).if done on older version of windows the command prompt experience is poor.use existing Windows 10 command prompt for native experience.This will install git, the BASH tools and add them to your path. Then simply open Administrator Command Window and type:Ĭhoco install git -params '"/GitAndUnixToolsOnPath"' I assume you have Chocolatey installed already (it is a one liner in the command prompt). Let’s see how you would install git using Chocolatey. Watch the video to see another cool trick where you can open the command window in any open folder. Using keyboard shortcuts ( Windows key + X then C), I can have a command prompt open quickly and start using git right away. I love this option because it is fast to set up (one liner) and with Windows 10’s new command console (it resizes and has copy/paste) I get the a great native experience. If you are in charge of setting up machines for developers on windows it is definitely worth a look. Chocolatey is very powerful and I use it in combination with Boxstarter to set up my dev machines. Chocolatey can install the software with a single command you don’t have to use click-through installers any more! If you are coming from Linux think of it as the apt-get/yum for Windows. If you have not heard of Chocolatey stop everything and go learn a bit more. It installs the same package before but in one line. This is my preferred way to install the Git for Windows on Windows 10.
