Git Portable is a portable version of Git for Windows packaged in PortableApps.com Format.

The preferred method of installing Git Portable is the .paf.exe installer (why?). It will download Git for Windows as part of the install process.

If you prefer, you can alternatively install Git Portable manually:

Copy the GitPortable directory from this repository to a location of your choice.
Download Git for Windows Portable ("thumbdrive edition") from https://git-scm.com/download/win and extract it to the GitPortable\App\Git directory.
Run the following command to complete the installation:

"GitPortable\App\Git\git-bash.exe" --no-needs-console --hide --no-cd --command=post-install.bat

The manual installation instructions can also be used to update the version of Git within an existing Git Portable installation.

If you would like to create the .paf.exe file from this source:

Copy the GitPortable directory from this repository to a location of your choice.
Download and install the PortableApps.com Installer
- Not to be confused with the PortableApps.com Platform, which is the interface that opens when you click the PortableApps tray icon.
From the PortableApps.com Installer window, select this source folder, click Go, and wait for the .paf.exe to be generated. It can now be installed through the PortableApps.com Platform
