Quick Windows Git Installation
- These instructions are for using the popular Git Extentions for Windows to work with the reSIProcate source tree in git
- Download the "complete" MSI, it includes the Git and Kdiff installers too
- KDiff Installer becomes hidden under Git Extensions progress window, must look for it underneath or it will appear to sit there forever
- must not commit to repository using CRLF, use option 1 if not sure
- if you change any installation paths, you also have to specify them in the profile setup later
- all options can be changed easily later
- When finished installing Git Extensions, proceed to make a Git clone of the reSIProcate project

- Now you can proceed to make a Git clone of the reSIProcate project
