How do I get Bitbucket to work on Windows XP Operating System??
I can't download SourceTree because SourceTree doesn't support Windows XP.
I downloaded TortoiseGit but when I tried to run it, it says that I need to download Windows Service Pack. I have the latest version- Windows Service Pack 3 so when I try to update, there is nothing to update.
Thanks
I have just managed to get BitBucket work on Windows XP.
You should install Git for Windows (https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/download/v2.7.0.windows.1/Git-2.7.0-32-bit.exe)
Make sure Git Gui is installed.
After that, just open Git Gui and clone repository (local to BitBucket or vise versa).
Location of the remote repository on BitBucket should be the link shown in the overview page on the BitBucket site. You can choose HTTPS or SSH link of your BitBucket repository.
Try to use GitEye http://www.collab.net/giteyeapp is an a Free git client multi-platform and works in XP

I am running a Ubuntu x64 in a VM. In the company network is a TFS which holds git repositories. When using git via command line I can easily clone the repros? When switching to Eclipse and using EGit it fails with:
"http://tfs:8080/tfs/myPrj: authentication not supported:
http://tfs:8080/tfs/myPrj: authentication not supported"
When I install the MS TFS Eclipse plugin I get the same error. Any idea how to solve this?
Check Alex Rukhlin's reply in this post:
The fact that EGit Import Wizard cannot clone the Git repository from
TFS, either tells me that the issue is in that JGit functionality that
both (TEE and EGit) wizards use.
We're digging into the problem trying to figure out if it's fixed in
some of recent EGit/JGit versions.
I'm starting using Git as VCS. I've installed it locally on my machine, Windows XP sp3 Professional. Everything is ok with installation and configuration.
Problems occurs when I try to integrate Git with Eclipse (Kepler). I´ve installed Egit plugin. Then when I try to clone from a local bare repository, I follow these steps:
Open an Eclipse workspace
Right click on project explorer
Choose import
Choose projects from Git
Next-> choose clone URI
Next-> browse to repository location
Next-> browse to destination location
Next-> "Problem ocuured"
When I almost finish I got an error message:
Git repository clone failed.
Symbolic links not supported on this operating system
I try the solution from this page http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/hardlinkshellext.html
but didn't work for me.
Is there a way to make symbolic links work on Windows XP or a different way to make Egit works on windows XP?
Hope you can help me, thanks
My colleague created mercurial repository by eclispe plugin(http://javaforge.com/project/HGE)(right click project root->team->share with->mercurial....) in hist laptop with ip address:192.168.0.111,the question is how I can clone his repository use same plugin in eclipse.
For cloning, you need access via either ssh or http (or some other mechanism provided by a plugin). If your colleague is running a Linux or OS X system, he could run an SSH server on his box and create an account for you, so that you'd be able to clone his repository over ssh. The easier solution, which also works on Windows, is for your colleague to run hg serve in his Mercurial repository (I don't know if the Eclipse plugin has an option for that), which will run the embedded webserver. By default, you should then be able to clone from http://192.168.0.111:8000/ (the hg serve command has options to run it on another port).
I am setting up a development environment in my home. I have installed a centos linux in a virtual machine. All files in /var/www/html are shared with samba.
I have access to these files in windows. I have installed git in centos. I created a git repository in a sub directory of /var/www/html.
I am using Eclipse in windows. Egit is installed in Eclipse. I tried to add repository in eclipse but when I do a commit in egit, "git status" in linux displays a list of modified files to commit. Also when I do a commit in linux, all files in egit will be marked az modified.
I don't know how to synchronize egit with git. What is the correct way to do this?
The easiest solution by far would be to use a cloud service such as GitHub (or BitBucket if you want free private repositories).
An example workflow is (on terminal, however your clients will have GUI options for this):
$ git remote add origin git#bitbucket.org:username/repository
$ git push origin master
The on your other client fetch the changes and merge them in through pull
$ git pull
Both sides will need to have the same remote repository - This way you can push - pull wherever you do the work and the code be the same. I use this setup for developing and deploying my web-apps.
This solution relies on you having an internet connection - if you dont want or dont have an internet connection at your disposal then have a look at this post:
gitosis vs gitolite?
I am doing web development using CFEclipse with Classic Eclipse (Indigo) on a Windows Server.
I am using Remote Systems Explorer to access a Linux box via sftp.
The Linux box has Git installed. There is one branch in the development folder.
I have installed EGit in Eclipse, but there are no provisions for working with a remote system.
Because I cannot develop locally, how should I checkout files, edit and review changes in a browser, and ultimately commit properly? There is no local repository and checking out files through ssh (putty) while editing them in Eclipse does not show my changes when browsed.
If you can access to the remote location through ssh why you don't just simply clone the repository in local and then pull and push the changes ?
I think that cloning the the repository is the best bet in your situation, you have only to install msysgit on your windows machine ...
You can use remote project to achieve what you need. Unfortunately, git operations need to be done on the remote server. But, you can change the files and the files will be changed remotely on fly. To create the remote project you have to right click on the remote folder you want to create the remote project. The context menu you will find "Create Remote Project".
What Eclipse will do is make the modification thru RSE. This means, eclipse will deal with save files remotely.
