note: latest version (v2.6.4) of msysgit (now git for windows: https://git-for-windows.github.io/) require editing line 7 from
@set PATH=%git_install_root%\bin;%git_install_root%\mingw\bin;%PATH%
to
@set PATH=%git_install_root%\bin;%git_install_root%\mingw32\bin;%PATH%

note: if you use a 64-bit system, you should edit line 7 from
@set PATH=%git_install_root%\bin;%git_install_root%\mingw\bin;%PATH%
to
@set PATH=%git_install_root%\bin;%git_install_root%\mingw64\bin;%PATH%

As for alternative, I did:

  • edit environment variables to add the variable HOME as %USERPROFILE%
  • add your curl.exe directory in PATH

I have simply created a bat file having

"C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\curl.exe" %*

And then added that batfile to any where which is available in Environment Variable

Hi i am really new here. I just want to find out I copied exactly what was written. But was greeted with curl: (6) Could not resolve host: %*
can anyone explain to me where did I go wrong? I have my git installed, I have Vim installed. Where did I go wrong?

Thank you so much for releasing this it worked perfectly on my laptop, however i tried setting it up on my desktop and it constantly says that it is incompatible claiming it is a 16 bit program i made sure my system was 64 bit which it was and changed the line to
@set PATH=%git_install_root%\bin;%git_install_root%\mingw64\bin;%PATH%
but it doesn't make a difference is there something else i have to change as well, I am a bit confused seeing as how it worked just fine on my laptop.
