Security Status

Git for Windows 64 bit is a professional version-control application that can track changes in source code during software development, and one of the most used software solutions for coordinating work between programmers.

In addition to tracking changes in code, it can also track changes in any other type of apps. To provide most scalability and versatility, Git is not created to fit in the traditional client-server system but is instead fully distributed, enabling every computer to have their own full-fledged repository that tracks version tracking and complete file history without relying on communication with a central server.

Conceived in 2005 by the father of Linus operating system Linus Torvalds, the oversight over Git was moved to Junio Hamano who was responsible for implementing numerous changes and upgrades over 30 different versions.

As of early 2025, Git for Windows PC has reached version 2.47, with extensive updates that will enhance the app's features for tracking and planning non-linear software development, distributed coding, compatibility with current and upcoming protocols, handling of very large projects, cryptographic authentication, plugin support, data garbage management, object packing, data structures and more.

While it was originally created for use in a Linux environment, this app has received extensive support for BSD, macOS, Solaris, and Windows OS.

Git for Windows remains one of the most popular versions of the app, with a lightweight native set of tools that feature both command line and GUI interface that can serve both novices and seasoned professionals.

The app consists from Git BASH, Git GUI, and Shell integration for easier access, but it is worth to notice that Git source code can be accessed via a wide array of custom GUI application that can enhance your particular workflow for branding and merging of code, distributed version tracking, data assurance, area staging, and streamlined access.

As of early 2025, the Git database can be accessed by 25 different GUI clients.

Git for Desktop is 100% free for both home and professional use and is developed under open source license that ensures timely arrival of new features, stability upgrades, and enhancements.

What's new in this version:

New Features:
- Comes with PCRE2 v10.46
- Comes with cURL v8.16.0. This addresses a bug where fetches/pushes could fail with failed to read data from server: SEC_E_CONTEXT_EXPIRED (0x80090317) under certain circumstances. Also included: a back-port of a fix for a bug where connection failures were mistakenly reported as time-outs.
- Comes with Tig v2.6.0
- Comes with MinTTY v3.8.1
- Comes with OpenSSL v3.5.3

Fixed:
- The auto-updater now shows Git for Windows icon in the notification also on Windows/ARM64.
- git clone/git fetch now deals more gracefully with directory / file conflicts when the files backend is used for ref storage, by failing only the ones that are involved in the conflict while allowing others. This is a regression in Git v2.51.0 that was reported in Git for Windows and independently also to the Git mailing list. This was fixed by merging Git's topic branch kn/refs-files-case-insensitive.
- Support for pathspecs in diff --no-index was somewhat buggy, which has been fixed.
- git sparse-checkout subcommand learned a new clean action to prune otherwise unused working-tree files that are outside the areas of interest. An earlier version of this had been integrated into Microsoft Git already. This was fixed by merging Git's topic branch ds/sparse-checkout-clean.
- git rebase -i failed to clean-up the commit log message when the command commits the final one in a chain of "fixup" commands, which has been corrected. Backported from Git's topic branch pw/rebase-i-cleanup-fix.
- git subtree did not work correctly when splitting squashed subtrees, which has been improved. Backported from Git's topic branch cs/subtree-squash-split-fix.
- Some among git add -p and friends ignored color.diff and/or color.ui configuration variables, which is an old regression, which has been corrected. This was fixed by merging Git's topic branch jk/add-i-color.
- A corner-case bug in git log -L... has been corrected. This was fixed by merging Git's topic branch sg/line-log-boundary-fixes.
- A broken or malicious git fetch can say that it has the same object for many many times, and the upload-pack serving it can exhaust memory storing them redundantly, which has been corrected. This was fixed by merging Git's topic branch ps/upload-pack-oom-protection.
- Fixes multiple crashes around midx write-out codepaths. This was fixed by merging Git's topic branch ds/midx-write-fixes.
- git repack --path-walk lost objects in some corner cases, which has been corrected. This was fixed by merging Git's topic branch ds/path-walk-repack-fix.
- Under a race against another process that is repacking the repository, especially a partially cloned one, git fetch may mistakenly think some objects we do have are missing, which has been corrected. This was fixed by merging Git's topic branch jk/fetch-check-graph-objects-fix.
- Various options to git diff that makes comparison ignore certain aspects of the differences (like "space changes are ignored", "differences in lines that match these regular expressions are ignored") did not work well with --name-only and friends. This was fixed by merging Git's topic branch ly/diff-name-only-with-diff-from-content.
- git diff --no-index run inside a subdirectory under control of a Git repository operated at the top of the working tree and stripped the prefix from the output, and oddballs like "-" (stdin) did not work correctly because of it. Correct the set-up by undoing what the set-up sequence did to the current working directory and prefix. This was fixed by merging Git's topic branch jc/diff-no-index-in-subdir.
- Various bugs about rename handling in "ort" merge strategy have been fixed. This was fixed by merging Git's topic branch en/ort-rename-fixes.
- git push had a code path that led to BUG() but it should have reported a regular failure, as it is a response to a usual but invalid end-user action to attempt pushing an object that does not exist. This was fixed by merging Git's topic branch dl/push-missing-object-error.
- git refs migrate to migrate the reflog entries from a refs backend to another had a handful of bugs squashed. This was fixed by merging Git's topic branch ps/reflog-migrate-fixes.
- During interactive rebase, using drop on a merge commit lead to an error, which was incorrect. This was fixed by merging Git's topic branch js/rebase-i-allow-drop-on-a-merge
