This Blog Post consists in huge parts of Daniel Hüskens awesome work, but I still had to rewrite it a bit as I tended to add some stuff on :).

1.) Download latest Git for Windows: https://git-for-windows.github.io/

2.) Install (Entires with * can be changed to your own liking, ** can be changed, but this setting is recommended)

“Without Windows Explorer Integration” *
“Run Git and included Unix tools from Windows Command Prompt”
“Use OpenSSH”
“Checkout Windows-style, commit Unix-style endings” **
“Use Windows default console window” **

3.) Configure

Configure Git Line Endings

I tend to work crossplatform on different systems, mostly switching between different kinds of Ubuntu/Debian and Windows machines - always checking out and commiting git files on those machines. And I always forget to get the Git Line Endings right, as soon as I add a new machine to that list… So to do that, just a quick one liner:

git config --global core.autocrlf input
# Configure Git on Linux to properly handle line endings

Gitkraken - your next Git Client

If you’re in the NetOps/DevOps Teams, chances are high you need to develop code and use git. Well, on Windows Clients, I tended to use Atlassians Source Tree - however, that client became more and more buggy and unstable - unusable to say. Especially if I had to do an really big merge of my main to my deploy tag - it tended to crash most of the time.

So, without further ado: Enter Gitkranken. A nice, free, good looking and fast git client. Without dependencies.
