Git under windows: MSYS or Cygwin?
- by Joce
I plan to migrate my projects over to git, and I'm currently wondering which is the best and / or most stable option under windows.
From what I gather I basically have 2.5 options:
MSYSgit
git under Cygwin
(aka 2.5) MSYSgit from a Cygwin prompt (given that Cygwin git is already installed).
Note: IMO Cygwin in itself is a big plus as you can have access to pretty much all the *nix command line tools, as where with MSYSgit bash, you only have access to a rather small subset of these tools.
Given that, what option would you suggest?
