GttBoW

Transparent Git to the Bash on Windows.

It lets you use the git installed on bash on windows as native windows git, without installing git again with silly mingw ssh tools. Because it uses raw argument as string by bat file(%*), you don't need any quote/doublequote brackets for command-argument list. So you do use commands directly with any brackets you need to use as if it's an windows command.

Built with

• golang
• Because it produces binary without installing entire visual studio monster.

WARNING

It doesn't support 32bit windows yet.

Installation

Run install.bat as administrator privilege. Installation script will ask for some options. You can use ssh-agent with simple modification in install.bat. Also, check the note below.

Note for GCC

• To use gcc.bat, do sudo apt install gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64 in ubuntu first. install.bat asks if you want it installed.

Note for ssh-agent

Run following script into powershell or bash. You can simply run install-ssh-agent.ps1 instead.

bash -c 'cat<<''EOF''>~/.init-ssh-agent
#!/usr/bin/env bash
if [[ \$(pgrep ssh-agent) = \"\" ]]
  then eval \`ssh-agent > ~/.ssh/ssh-agent.sh\`
  source ~/.ssh/ssh-agent.sh
  for KEY in \`ls ~/.ssh/*.pub | sed s/\.pub//\`
  do ssh-add \$KEY
  done
else
  source ~/.ssh/ssh-agent.sh > /dev/null
fi
EOF
chmod +x ~/.init-ssh-agent'

Line below is the content to be placed in ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc

. ~/.init-ssh-agent

For example of bashrc,

bash -c 'echo . \~/.init-ssh-agent >> ~/.bashrc'

Note for piping

To use piping, do it like bbash 'echo 1 > _tmp' or bbash "echo 1 > _tmp" which is composed of bbash and only one argument wrapped with quotes. Piping directly from windows to ubuntu is available since bd5aa169fc075a69a7a74a45959edcb2219f606a

• git clone to windows directory and path
• GCC build test
• Plug on neovim on windows
• PlugInstall
• Golang
• git related get/install
• gcc related build (cgo)
• Xming
• ssh.exe replacement for remote X11 forwarding
