Requirements

Mongoose setup

Rename mongoose-2.8.exe to mongoose4instagit.exe and place it in any folder at your choice, in my case: k:\dev\tools\mongoose\mongoose4instagit.exe

Gitweb setup

In a msysGit shell run the following commands to build gitweb.cgi in case it’s not already present (like after running make clean in /git folder):

Git on Windows with msysGit

The article is based on Install MSysGit wiki page from the msysGit website, and you could also read Updating MSysGit.

For best results use one of the following Git versions:

  • Git 1.6.6.2
  • Git 1.6.5.8
  • Git 1.6.4.4

Requirements

Setting up Git

First unpack msysGit installer to your desired location (7-Zip works just fine). In my case, the location is K:\dev\tools\msysGit. Also, this folder is the root folder inside the msysGit shell, and would be the reference for the rest of the tutorial.

In the K:\dev\tools\msysGit\git folder you will find the Git source code provided with the installer. Delete all the files and folders inside it, and then unpack in the same folder the source code of your desired git version.

Final step would be running K:\dev\tools\msysGit\msys.bat, which will compile and install git, and leave you to a shell prompt.
