When installing Git for Windows check the “Run Git from the Windows Command Prompt” option.

Make sure Git can be found via the PATH environment variable. The system wide configuration file is located relative to where C Git is installed. If Git is not installed, use the global or repository configuration for the tocrlf setting. Older versions require at least Java 1.8.ĬRLF conversion is performed depending on the tocrlf setting, however Git for Windows by default stores that setting during installation in the “system wide” configuration file. JGit 6.0 and newer requires at least Java 11.

Only the timestamp of the index is used by JGit if the index is dirty. For Windows you must use a non-administrator account and have the SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege. Native symbolic links are supported, provided the file system supports them.

JGit can be imported straight into Eclipse and built and tested from there.
