<TITLE>Git-gui Use Under Cygwin</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">The following are the couple of things needed to make git-gui work cleanly under Cygwin. What they do is properly store the passphrase so that git (and git-gui) respond properly when quesried by the master.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">-Install the Cygwin procps package, if you don't have it -- this gives you \bin\pskill.exe.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">-Update your Cywin.bat file. </FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">Make sure the second line (right after the echo line) is:</FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">set CYGWIN=binmode</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">Add the following three lines before the last line (the bash line):</FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">c:\cygwin\bin\pkill ssh-agent</FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">del c:\cygwin\etc\profile.d\ssh-agent.sh</FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">c:\cygwin\bin\ssh-agent > c:\cygwin\etc\profile.d\ssh-agent.sh</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">-Launch Cygwin.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">-At the bash prompt, enter ssh-add. You'll be prompted for the passphrase you created for ssh.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">-Launch git-gui.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">You need to do the ssh-add prior to running git-gui, once per Cygwin bash shell session.</FONT>
