First, installation instructions

          Git  is  linux  kernel. At present git can already be used in windows, main methods are two: msysgit and cygwin. cygwin and windows version of git provides a friendly gui (Graphical interface ), soon after installation, here we mainly discuss based on msysgit

We will be in 64 win7 operating system installed gitgui interface, you need to install msysGit< Span style= "color:red;" > and tortoisegit

System Prerequisites

• For the latest version of Tortoisegit Windows XP SP3 or newer is required.
• Admin Privileges for the installation
• msysgit Span style= "FONT-FAMILY:CALIBRI;" > is required by Tortoisegit
  • you do not need to download the whole Msysgit development package, The  "Full Installer-official Git for Windows" msysgit 1.7.10+ is Recommended for Tortoisegit 1.7.9+ (msysgit 1.7.10 adds utf-8 support and are compatible to *nix git)
  • minimum compatible version is 1.6.1 (for Tortoisegit < 1.7.9-should use Msysgit 1.7.6)

Installation

Just Download the setup package for your system and install it. If you are running a, the "need to download" and "Install the" the "a", "version:the" shell extension is included in the installer since Tortoisegit 1.7.3.0.

Windows 2000

If you want to use tortoisegit in a Win2K environment (only 1.6.5 and below support Win2K), please install GDI + before you install Tortoisegit. However, running these old versions isn't recommended (no utf-8 and Separate-git-dir support).

Upgrade

Before upgrading you should read the releasenotes.

Just Download the setup package for your system and install it. The old version would be replaced automatically.

If you were upgrading from 1.7.3.0 or older and you had installed the 32-bit version on a 64-bit system you had to Deinst All the 32-bit version first.

Common problems (installer aborts with an error message)

"This installation package is not supported by this processor type. Contact your product vendor. "

This means is trying to install the 64-bit version of Tortoisegit on a normal 32-bit operating system. You need to download with the correct MSI file for your OS. For normal 32-bit OS, make sure the MSI filename does not has "64-bit" in it.

"Please wait while the installer finishes determining your disk space requirements."

Cleanup/empty the temp-directory (e.g C:\users\<your user>\appdata\local\temp, C:\User and Settings\<your User>\local Settings\Temp, c:\Windows\Temp\).
