Install on Windows

ATTENTION!!!

If your %HOMEPATH% contains non ASCII symbols, for example cyrillic - it's better to create another user.

Download and install Git

• Step: Adjusting your PATH environment

Choose: Use Git from the Windows Command Prompt

• Step: Configuring the line ending conversions

Choose: Checkout as-is, commit Unix-style line endings

• Step: Configuring the terminal emulator to use with Git Bash

Choose: use MinTTY (the default terminal of MSys2)

Add to PATH variable real path to Git\usr\bin

For me it's: "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin"

Create new ssh key

• Execute in cmd

ssh-keygen -t rsa

• Copy created public ssh key from %HOMEPATH%.ssh\id_rsa.pub
• Add public key to http://gitlab.***/profile/keys
• Check ssh key is working, execute

ssh git@gitlab.***

Create configuration for ssh forwarding to vagrant

• Create file %HOMEPATH%.ssh\config with content:

Clone project to your working directory

cd {{ YOUR_WORKING_DIRECTORY }}

git clone git@gitlab.*****:group/project.git

Add global git configurations:

git config --global user.name "John Doe"
git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com
