  • seriously, this feedback should go to git@vger.kernel.org rather than here.

    Did you find the user manual normally bundled with git in the end, and was it helpful?

    Did you find git-gui and/or gitk ?

    What missing features or interfaces do you think are the most important to get started for new Windows users?

    • Some additional feedback, following your suggestions.

      I've taken another look through the various trees that git installed.

      It does NOT come with any sort of manual that I can discern.

      I did see the gitk.bat launcher when I was looking through bin. I ran it and got an error message that appears to be from one of the commands, and then it shut down.

      I also noticed the git-gui at the time as well. It's a non-executable shell script and thus non-functional on Windows.

      What is missing for Windows uses?

      Well putting on my stupid Windows user hat here, I'd say the follwing.

      1. A manual

      2. Something to click on that does SOMETHING

      3. An entry in the Start Menu that points to both the manual and the things I'm supposed to run.
