Как обновить версию git на windows

Git Bash

Note, if you are instead looking to find out what version of Git Bash you are running, or want to see if you need to update Git Bash, it is part of Git for Windows.

So your Git Bash version is:

git --version

git version 2.23.0.windows.1

Note that it is technically different from Bash. On my same machine when I run:

echo $BASH_VERSION

4.4.23(1)-release

Git for Windows installer

To update to the latest version of Git and Git Bash, you can download and install the latest version of Git for Windows. As per this FAQ, settings/customizations should be preserved if they were installed in the appropriate configuration folders.

Note: Their installer is actually intelligently designed to do the right thing (though it doesn’t tell you upfront that it defaults to your prior settings automatically!).
If you are doing an update, then every screen on the installer is pre-marked with the settings from your current (soon to be previous) install.

It is not showing you generic default settings. You do not need to look any of them up, or fear for breaking your carefully honed setup. Just leave everything as is, to retain your previous choices.

In fact, they made it even easier (if only it was clear that they did so).

There is a checkbox at the bottom [] Show only new settings (I don’t remember the exact wording). Since nothing on the first screen changes when you mark the box, it is not exactly obvious what it is for. If you mark the box, then all of your current settings will be retained, and it will skip showing those (subsequent) settings screens to you. Only screens with newly introduced settings will be shown.

git update-git-for-windows

Alternatively, as others have noted, you can also update Git Bash and Git (by definition, both are always updated at the same time) from the Git Bash command line, via:

git update-git-for-windows

If you type git update, Git kindly reminds you that the command has been updated to git update-git-for-windows:

Warning! git update has been deprecated;
Please use git update-git-for-windows instead.

Introduction

Git is a version control system that allows multiple developers to work on the same project while tracking changes and revisions. Keeping Git up to date brings you the latest features and usability improvements.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to update to the latest version of Git on Linux, Windows, and macOS.

Prerequisites

• A system running Linux, Windows, or macOS
• An installed version of Git
• Access to the terminal window (Linux, macOS) or command prompt (Windows)
• An account with administrator-level privileges

How to Check the Current Git Version?

To check the current version of Git, use the following command:

git --version

This command works on all operating systems. This example uses Windows:

Below, we list different ways you can update your version of Git, depending on the operating system you are using. Skip to the section applicable for your machine.

Update Git on Linux

This example shows how to update Git on Ubuntu.

Start by updating the system packages with the following command:

sudo apt-get update

Update Git by using:

sudo apt-get install git

When prompted, type Y and press Enter to confirm the installation.

To verify the installation has completed, check the Git version one more time:

git --version

Another way to update Git on Linux is to install it from scratch using the original source code. Check out our guide to installing Git on Ubuntu for details.

Update Git on Windows

The method you use to update Git on Windows depends on the version of Git you are currently running.

For versions prior to 2.14.1, uninstall Git from your system and install a copy of the latest version from scratch. Check out our guide to installing Git on Windows for more details.

For versions from 2.14.2 to 2.16.1, use the following command in your command prompt:

git update

For versions 2.16.1 on, update Git with:

git update-git-for-windows

The output above appears when you are running the latest Git version.

Update Git on Mac

The easiest way to update Git on Mac is to use the official installer. Download the installation file from the Git website. Run the installation and follow the install wizard to update Git to the latest version.

Another method is to update Git using Homebrew. If you don’t have Homebrew already, install it by using:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Update Homebrew to make sure you have the latest installation packages:

brew update

Install the latest version of Git with Homebrew:

brew install git

If you already have Git installed using Homebrew, update to the latest version with:

brew upgrade git

Check the current Git version to confirm the update:

git --version

Conclusion

After following this tutorial, you should have a fully updated version of Git installed on a Linux, Windows, or macOS machine.

Check Git Version

This page describes how to:

The information on this page applies to installing or upgrading Git on either your local machine, or on the Bitbucket Data Center and Server instance.

Check your version of Git

The versions of Git supported by Bitbucket are listed on Supported platforms.

You can check your current version of Git by running the git --version command in a terminal (Linux, macOS) or command prompt (Windows).

For example:

git --version 
git version 2.7.4

If you don’t see a supported version of Git, you’ll need to either upgrade Git or perform a fresh install, as described below.

Install or upgrade Git on Linux

Use your package manager to install Git. For example, on Ubuntu 13.10, use:

Alternative download options are:

• Download a version of Git that is compatible with your version of Bitbucket from the Git website. 
• If you are using a different Linux distribution, you may need to use a different package repository to get the latest stable version of Git. See the Git website
• If you want to use a more recent version of Git than your package manager provides, you can install Git from source. Make sure you check the version is compatible with Bitbucket.

Now check the Git version – you should see the new version of Git.

If you still can’t see the expected Git version, you may need to add the Git install location to your path. Open your ~/.profile file in a text editor and add this line, where <path/to/git> is the install location for Git:

export PATH=$PATH:<path/to/git>

You can use the which git command to find the install location for Git.

Install or upgrade Git on macOS

Download a version of Git that is compatible with your version of Bitbucket from the Git website. 

Click on the downloaded .dmg file, then double-click the .pkg icon to run the installer. This will install the new version of Git over the existing version:

Alternatively, you can:

• Use the native Git bundled with macOS.
• Use Homebrew to download and install Git.

Now check the Git version – you should see the new version of Git.

If you still can’t see the Git version, you may need to add the Git install location to your path. Open your ~/.profile file in a text editor and add this line, where <path/to/git> is the install location for Git:

export PATH=$PATH:<path/to/git>

You can use the which git command to find the install location for Git.

Install or upgrade Git on Windows

Download a version of Git that is compatible with your version of Bitbucket from the Git website.

Run the Git installer, ensuring that you install into the same location as any existing Git installation. You can use where git to locate existing installations. Installing Git for Windows (msysGit) also installs a supported version of Perl.

To ensure that git.exe is available in the path, choose either:

• Run Git from the Windows Command Prompt, or 
• Run Git and included Unix tools from the Windows Command Prompt.

Do not select Use Git Bash only when installing or upgrading Git for the Bitbucket instance — this will not work.

Now, check the Git version – you should see the new version of Git.

 msysGit is the only supported distribution when running Bitbucket on Windows. Cygwin Git is not supported and has known issues.

If you have successfully installed msysGit but you receive the error «Unable to find git!» when installing Bitbucket, you should abort the installation, restart the Windows server, then restart the Bitbucket installation.

Restart Bitbucket if necessary

If you’ve been installing or upgrading Git for the Bitbucket instance, rather than for your local machine, you’ll need to stop and restart Bitbucket so that it will pick up the upgraded version of Git. See Start and stop Bitbucket for details.

Для работы с Git необходимо установить git на машине, вот примеры для наиболее популярных ОС:

Amazon Linux AMI release 2015.09  – Устанавливаемая  по-умолчанию версия: git version 2.4.3

CentOS 6.8 & 7.2 – Устанавливаемая  по-умолчанию версия: git version 1.8.x

Процесс обновления для CentOS 6 и 7:

yum install -y curl-devel gettext-devel openssl-devel perl-CPAN perl-devel zlib-devel
yum remove -y git
wget https://github.com/git/git/archive/master.zip -O /home/vagrant/master.zip
unzip /home/vagrant/master.zip -d /home/vagrant
cd /home/vagrant/git-master
make configure
./configure --prefix=/usr
make install
rm -rf /home/vagrant/git-master
rm -f /home/vagrant/master.zip

Ubuntu 14.04.3 – Устанавливаемая  по-умолчанию версия: git version 1.9.1

Процесс обновления:

apt-get remove git
add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa
apt-get update
apt-get install git

OS X 10.11.1 – После установки developer tools, будет доступна версия git version 2.4.9 (Apple Git-60)

Процесс обновления:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew install git bash-completion

Windows 10  –  Устанавливаемая  по-умолчанию версия из https://git-for-windows.github.io/: git version 2.6.3.windows.1

Пример установки Git на Windows Server Core (WoW64-Support нужен только на момент установки):

New-Item -Type Directory -Name 'GitSrc' -Path 'C:'
Set-Location 'C:GitSrc'
Invoke-WebRequest https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/download/v2.6.3.windows.1/Git-2.6.3-64-bit.exe -OutFile 'C:GitSrcGit-2.6.3-64-bit.exe'
New-Item -Type File -Name 'gitInstallConf.txt' -Path 'C:GitSrc'

Пример файла конфигурации для работы с Git через cmd:

[Setup]
Lang=default
Dir=C:Program FilesGit
Group=Git
NoIcons=1
SetupType=default
Components=ext,extshellhere,extguihere,assoc,assoc_sh
Tasks=
PathOption=CmdTools
SSHOption=OpenSSH
CRLFOption=CRLFAlways
BashTerminalOption=ConHost
PerformanceTweaksFSCache=Enabled

Собственно установка:

.Git-2.6.3-64-bit.exe /SILENT /LOADINF="gitInstallConf.txt"

Проверить версию Git можно в новой сессии PowerShell или cmd.

Впрочем, если вы, как и я будете работать с клиентом SourceTree, то устанавливать git отдельно нет необходимости.
