This is a version of Git developed by the Git for Windows project which contains additional patches designed to make it work better on Windows than standard Git (although it will also work on other platforms as well). The Git project itself doesn't provide binaries; various other people (such as Linux distros and Git for Windows) provide binaries for their particular platforms. > git executables (like git-cmd.exe for instance) displays this "File versi= on" > on Windows: > 2.23.0.1 >=20 > What are your thoughts? And can you answer to Justin Chalfant on PatchMyPC > forum? Since this is a custom build, you'd be better off reaching out to the Git for Windows project at https://github.com/git-for-windows/git. They can help you figure out the best way forward. --=20 brian m. carlson: Houston, Texas, US OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204 --0blaZc+aUkVqY8MO Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.2.17 (GNU/Linux) iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEX8OngXdrJt+H9ww3v1NdgR9S9osFAl19QbAACgkQv1NdgR9S 9ovQcw/8CxZMdxQpSGU/TO9f5PHk4sAtrRNzuMPZKXpGe/q9tpuKL8eojwfLOEio CQp31wuyTobdoucdcJzi0sTX+Lj9u+0+wEjFrEsb4nbmLlAR/mKcxsi0FT4HjuiD +bgBzgxSOjcjXcm06oFoqD3yyKjsuE545oEHrSC2dXcsJmglSlKrCqsyNom/LYcZ KFc/UsKt1NYgj13tii7yyQzB9mapBog7mFO4qvG5vcPuuJYHKfE/HmDmIroMEwzE MtAA26UHu2CKGS0EFRELX4Ff8Y1RMtKCtUzU5Xuf4g95YArIdF0G1iFyDCH6WHUp /3TxiWEfBMjX0I6H91vT9EPy/os5zE6XmTkqo5s1qWMr60L6hvIVmdXZ7JneOtks NpP1ZDPaLQ8moC9Y5DybGgf1GIxUIKt78aio/L4THR95aaHBLXopCy8QVYv4EMHU 8gAcOC/Z4BZdKQfiXbMWOtDtlK/qxw8lr+ALx+RfX5zS09PTB5wFXXK4RB/NlKmW J93Lz7BdzhM3elJ7tH0Zy4ubRBZH3+uYpfphtZsB7vLM1EGAy8RVazkxaMHN3c17 KlNNcflkGWo9wmiiJ2nefwFECiwjSkAY2SRhZbjSF99W/DqKimme1gURYkaC/cxO JHlZ8koZlLxclM80+SZ9CRWbBs57CiDPgtlBwPPPbIDJjLaCfyg= =HSty -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --0blaZc+aUkVqY8MO--
