how to add more utilities to git bash for windows, wget, make

How to add more to Git Bash on Windows

Git for Windows comes bundled with the "Git Bash" terminal which is incredibly handy for unix-like commands on a windows machine. It is missing a few standard linux utilities, but it is easy to add ones that have a windows binary available.

The basic idea is that C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\ is your / directory according to Git Bash (note: depending on how you installed it, the directory might be different. from the start menu, right click on the Git Bash icon and open file location. It might be something like C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Programs\Git, the mingw64 in this directory is your root. Find it by using pwd -W). If you go to that directory, you will find the typical linux root folder structure (bin, etc, lib and so on).

If you are missing a utility, such as wget, track down a binary for windows and copy the files to the corresponding directories. Sometimes the windows binary have funny prefixes, so

Installing Arch Linux on VirtualBox in Windows 10 for beginners

Installing Arch Linux on VirtualBox in Windows 10

I recently upgraded to a new system, and instead of running Arch Linux natively I've decided to run it inside VirtualBox on Windows 10. Below I note down the steps I took, which closely follow the excellent wiki pages of archlinux. But along the way, I also noted a few other steps steps I took to make this system very comfortable, which you'll have to figure out for yourself if you like them or not!

Setting up Windows 10 to be ready

There isn't much of preparation required, given that I started from scratch, but I did have to setup my windows environment a little bit.

  1. Install the windows package manager chocolatey
  2. Install qBittorrent (which will be used to download an iso copy of arch) by running the following command from the command line choco install qbittorrent (recommended to run the command line as an adm

Bash-completion is very slow on MSYS2

Bash-completion is very slow on MSYS2

Bash-completion is very slow on MSYS2 when the current user is a domain user. This describes the cause and the solutions.

Cause

Expansion of ~* is very slow when you use a domain user. For example:

git config --global https.proxy http://127.0.0.1:1080
git config --global https.proxy https://127.0.0.1:1080
git config --global --unset http.proxy
git config --global --unset https.proxy
npm config delete proxy

Git Submodules basic explanation

Git Submodules basic explanation

Why submodules?

In Git you can add a submodule to a repository. This is basically a repository embedded in your main repository. This can be very useful. A couple of usecases of submodules:

  • Separate big codebases into multiple repositories.
