Git for Windows - Request for Beta Testers

Git for Windows - Beta Testers Guide

The Git for Windows team is currently testing their newest release candidates, which is a port of Git 2.3 to Windows. As this is a significant change, I've written up a guide for people who are interested in helping to test out things.

Recommended Setup

You can find the latest releases for Git for Windows over on the Releases page:
