We build Git for Windows using an MSys2 based Git for Windows SDK. This SDK can be installed via a net-installer
- Just install the net-installer.
-
An initial
git clone
andmake
should have already occurred when installing the net-installer. -
Open the Git for Windows SDK shell by double clicking either the Shortcut on the desktop
Git SDK 32-bit.lnk
or by double clickingmingw32_shell.bat
in the install folder. That isGit SDK 64-bit.lnk
andmingw64_shell.bat
for the64bit
net-installer. -
Change directory to the initial clone:
cd /usr/src/git
. -
(Optional) build Git:
make
. -
Run the test suite:
make test
