I've had to install git via CygWin

gmaghera opened this issue · comments

I've just reinstalled Windows 7, and put CygWin onto it with the wget package. The set up script for oh-my-cygwin kept failing due to not finding the git command. The cygwin installer showed Git as installed, but I could not invoke the command from the terminal. Reinstalling git from the cygwin installer, and then running the oh-my-cygwin setup one-liner fixed the issue.

I've swapped this line:

git clone https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh.git ~/.oh-my-zsh

To:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh.git .oh-my-zsh

Then it worked with Windows's native msysGit.

Sorry guys this project is depracated. Please feel free to fork it
