Installing GIT on Windows
DownloadsInstallation
Alright, first go through MSysGit installer and just set it up (its used as a base for TortoiseGit). then once you install MSysGit, launch the installer you just downloaded for TortoiseGit, you'll be prompted by a window similar to the following

The next window is "Choose SSH Client", select "TortoisePLink", hit Next.

The next window is "Custom Setup", do not change anything unless you know what you're doing, hit Next.

We're done with the installation, that was easy, wasn't it?

Just wait for it to complete the download of your working copy and you'll be good to go.

Right-Click the folder where you downloaded your working copy and within the TortoiseGit menu, select "Pull..." as shown below

Will there be an SVN mirror?

  • Github automatically provides an SVN mirror of repositories. Hercules is available with:
  • Code:
    svn checkout [URL="http://svn.github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules.git%C2%A0"]http://svn.github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules.git [/URL]
     
  • We won't officially work to support many branches or features in SVN, but it should remain in-sync with the latest stable release, based on master branch in git.

 
TortoiseGit questions  :

  1. How to revert to the specific Commit ?
  2. How to search  Commit message?

1. TortoiseGit (the menu) -> Switch/Checkout -> select 'Commit' and in the field enter the hash you want to rollback to.2. TortoiseGit (the menu) -> Log Messages -> in the top right there is a search field, type whatever you want and hit enter/return.
