Important

I have resigned as a Cygwin maintainer. I am therefore archiving this repository and GitHub organisation.

If you're interested in maintaining this package for Cygwin, check out Cygwin's information for package maintainers for how to get started.

If you're interested in using the GitHub cygporter organisation as a whole, I'd be happy to hand over responsibility to anyone with a reasonable link to the Cygwin project. Please get in touch!

This repository contains the files required to build and package Git for Cygwin.

Building and packaging the 32-bit Git needs to be done on a 32-bit Cygwin installation; likewise for the 64-bit version. The builds use Cygport, so from a copy of this repository, the following command will download and build Git, run the test suite, package the compiled results into separate packages, and (provided lftp can find the key for upload access, i.e. it's ~/.ssh/id_rsa or has been added to ssh-agent) upload the results.
