Yes, I just picked up git for Windows, and it is atrociously unusable. Brutally atrocious. It's not like Windows is a popular operating system - git shouldn't support it as a first-class citizen. ;)
- eps 16y agoCare to elaborate? I've been using the whatever default Windows port that is linked from Git's download page for several months bow and there is nothing atrocious about it. It works well and it does differ much from the Linux version. (edit) The command line version that is.
- pnathan 16y agoThe GUI is atrocious. I use the GUI for branch visualization, and, well, I had expected something far better. I use TortoiseHG and I expected parity.
- xiongchiamiov 16y agoMost people seem to say that it works just fine. In my limited experience, it was just like git on Linux. Given that git was created for hosting the Linux kernel, it should be obvious why it's not a first-class citizen.
- notJim 16y agogit gui works wells for me on Windows with msysgit. It's ugly, and there are a good number of small issues, but it definitely provides a reasonable user experience. And of course, the command line option through msysgit is great.
- oemera 16y agoGit was developed for improving Linux Kernel development. You see why they don't care about Windows, right?
