| Portable Git 2.47.1.1 Nov 25, 2024 |
New Features: Comes with Git v2.47.1. Comes with cURL v8.11.0. Comes with Git LFS v3.6.0. Bug Fixes: Due to a bug introduced in the v2.47 cycle, the installer showed an empty "experimental options" page, which was fixed. A potential crash in Git Bash on Insider versions of Windows/ARM64 was fixed. On Windows/ARM64, running the 64-bit version of Git for Windows could infrequently cause deadlocked threads (see e.g. this report or this one), which was addressed. |
| Portable Git 2.47.0.2 Oct 22, 2024 |
Bug Fixes: A regression in v2.47.0 where git maintenance start crashed immediately was fixed. A regression where clones, fetches and pushes via SSH would dead-lock was fixed. As of Git for Windows v2.47.0, Scalar was supposed to enable an optimized push algorithm, but for a typo didn't, which was fixed. A few documentation and other, minor bug fixes from upstream Git were integrated into Git for Windows early. |
| Portable Git 2.47.0 Oct 8, 2024 |
New Features: Comes with Git v2.47.0. Comes with the MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows flavor) based on Cygwin v3.5.4, which drops Windows 7 and Windows 8 support. The new, experimental git backfill command was added: It helps fetching relevant Git objects smartly in a partial, sparse clone. The new, experimental git survey command was added. This command is designed to help identify less-than-ideal data shape in monorepos, and it will likely see highly active development. Stay tuned! Comes with Git Credential Manager v2.6.0. |
| Portable Git 2.46.2 Sep 24, 2024 |
New Features: Comes with Git v2.46.2. Comes with OpenSSH v9.9.P1. Comes with MinTTY v3.7.6. Comes with Bash v5.2.37. Comes with the new, experimental --full-name-hash option for git repack that helps packing monorepos more tightly. |
| Portable Git 2.46.1 Sep 18, 2024 |
New Features: Comes with Git v2.46.1. Comes with Bash v5.2.32. Comes with OpenSSL v3.2.3. Comes with MinTTY v3.7.5. Comes with cURL v8.10.1. Bug Fixes: The support code enabled via core.WSLCompat did not work well with files stored in subdirectories of the worktree, which has been fixed. When using an askpass helper (e.g. implicitly when running inside VS Code's internal terminal), Git v2.46.0 would error out with "read error: Invalid argument"; This bug has been fixed. |
| Portable Git 2.46.0 Jul 30, 2024 |
New Features: Comes with Git v2.46.0. Comes with OpenSSL v3.2.2. Comes with PCRE2 v10.44. Comes with OpenSSH v9.8.P1. Comes with Git Credential Manager v2.5.1. Comes with MinTTY v3.7.4. git config respects two user-wide configs: .gitconfig in the home directory, and .config/git/config. Since the latter isn't a Windows-native directory, Git for Windows now looks for Git/config in the AppData directory, unless .config/git/config exists. The FSMonitor feature is no longer experimental, and therefore no longer offered as installer option. Users are encouraged to enable this on a per-repository basis, via the config setting core.fsmonitor=true (scalar clone does this automatically). The server-side component of OpenSSH, which had been shipped with Git for Windows for historical reasons only, is now no longer distributed with it. Comes with cURL v8.9.0. Bug Fixes: Git Bash's ls command can now be used in OneDrive-managed folders without having to hydrate all the files. Git LFS v3.5.x and newer no longer support Windows 7. Instead of a helpful error message, it now simply crashes on that Windows version, leaving the user with the error message "panic before malloc heap initialized". This has been addressed: In addition to the unhelpful error message, Git is now saying what is going on and how to get out of the situation. As of v2.45.0, the manual pages of git clone and git init were broken, which has been fixed. |
| Portable Git 2.45.2 Jul 19, 2024 |

Git for Windows for Windows v2.46 is the last version to support for Windows 7 and for Windows 8, see MSYS2's corresponding deprecation announcement (Git for Windows relies on MSYS2 for components such as Bash and Perl). Please also note that the 32-bit variant of Git for Windows is deprecated; Its last official release is planned for 2025. <li class="bbli">New Features: Comes with Git v2.46.0-rc0.
