winget install --id=Microsoft.Git -e

This is microsoft/git, a special Git distribution to support monorepo scenarios. If you are not working in a monorepo, you are likely searching for Git for Windows instead of this codebase. In addition to the Git command-line interface (CLI), microsoft/git includes the Scalar CLI to further enable working with extremely large repositories. Scalar is a tool to apply the latest recommendations and use the most advanced Git features.

Microsoft Git is a specialized distribution of Git designed to support monorepo scenarios, enabling efficient collaboration in extremely large codebases. It includes Microsoft-specific patches to optimize performance for large-scale development environments.

Key Features:

  • Support for monorepo workflows, allowing teams to work seamlessly across massive repositories.
  • Integration with Scalar CLI, providing advanced tools for managing and optimizing large Git repositories.
  • Compatibility with standard Git commands and workflows, ensuring a familiar experience while leveraging enhanced functionality.

Audience & Benefit:

Ideal for developers and teams working on extremely large codebases or monorepos. Microsoft Git enhances productivity by offering optimized tools to manage complexity, improve performance, and simplify operations in large-scale development projects. It can be installed via winget, making it easy to integrate into existing workflows.

Git for Windows

Build Status (Windows/macOS/Linux) Build Status (core.autocrlf=true) Join the chat at https://gitter.im/git-for-windows/git

This is Git for Windows, the Windows port of Git.

The Git for Windows project is run using a governance model. If you encounter problems, you can report them as GitHub issues, discuss them on Git for Windows' Google Group, and contribute bug fixes.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git- or git help .

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt ( or if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of core Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at , and other archival sites. The core git mailing list is plain text (no HTML!).

Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list .

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.

The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):

  • random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
  • stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
  • "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  • "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
