I wanted to install the p10k theme in my terminal but I get an error.
➜ ~ p10k configure
zsh: command not found: p10k
I have no clue on what the issue is.
Thanks for your time :),
Hukyfi
Install Powerlevel10k manually.
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ~/powerlevel10k
echo 'source ~/powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k.zsh-theme' >>~/.zshrc
This method of installation won't make anything slower or otherwise sub-par.
powerlevel10k manual
Most probably this step of cloning powerlevel10k is already done:
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ~/powerlevel10k
The problem is in the command mentioned in powerlevel10k README file. It should be
echo 'source ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/themes/powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k.zsh-theme' >>~/.zshrc
I know it is a bit late (2 years I guess) but your problem is caused by fact you installed p10k going Oh My Zsh's way (from the doc's) but you forgot to do one simple thing.
To set:
ZSH_THEME="powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k"
in ~/.zshrc.
Also typing (below) should show the prompt after you've made the edit in .rc file.
$ exec zsh
I am trying to install Git on Windows 10, but without Git Bash or GUI. I want to use Git in PowerShell and I would like not to bloat my PC. I know the install size is small, but that's not the issue.
I've tried going through the installer from git-SMC/Git for Windows a couple times, but it appears I can not opt out of GUI and Bash. Any idea how I can do this? Perhaps Chocolatey is of any use?
Thanks in advance!
You can use MinGit
MinGit is provided on the Git for Windows repository
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases
It does not come preinstalled with Git Bash, GitK or Vi etc.
The github repo publishes portable and minimum versions of the binary releases which don't require installation. You could prune out the parts you don't want if you need to cut it down further.
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases
Or instalation Using Chocolatey, if that will be ok for you
https://www.jamessturtevant.com/posts/5-Ways-to-install-git-on-Windows/#using-chocolatey
I started with Git and then removed everything except the following dirs:
\mingw64\libexec\git-core
\ssl
Rename git-core to cmd and move it up 2 levels and you don't even have to edit your .gitconfig.
Works like a charm for me.
I just upgraded to Git 1.8.0.1 for Windows, from my previous version 1.7.9.mysysgit.0. I downloaded the new version from the Git site and installed through the normal Git installer EXE.
That said, when I fire up my terminal window, it still is showing that I am running Git version 1.7.9.mysysgit.0. When I type git --version from my prompt, the same thing.
I found this article on a similar issue with Git on Mac OS X, which leads me to believe that it has something to do with a faulty PATH, but I'm still pretty new at all this (five months self-taught), so I'm at a loss in how to translate this to Windows.
This problem arose when I began a new Ruby on Rails project and tried to push it up to Git. I added the remote:
git remote add origin git#github.com:brianscottk/blog.git
then:
git push -u origin master
I received the following error message:
fatal: https://github.com refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?
Googling that error led me to this article, which prompted me to upgrade, and here I am.
Since Git 2.16.1(2) you can use
C:\> git update-git-for-windows
In version between 2.14.2 and 2.16.1, the command was
C:\> git update
(It was later renamed to avoid confusion with updating the local repository, e.g. like svn update does it.)
That command does not exist in Git 2.13 and before.
If this errors with "is not a git command" then either you don't actually have Git for Windows, or your version is very old.
In which case, simply get the latest installer from https://git-scm.com/download (check whether you want 32- or 64-bit) and run it to upgrade.
If you already have the latest version it does nothing, in which case you can manually run the installer to reinstall.
C:\> git update-git-for-windows
Git for Windows 2.17.0.windows.1 (64bit)
Up to date
First, check your Git version by using this command
git version
Then follow the case according to your Git version
Three cases:
If your Git version is 2.14.1 or earlier:
Uninstall Git, download the latest Git, and install it again.
And versions between 2.14.2 and 2.16.1:
Use command git update
If the version is equal to or greater than Git 2.16.1(2):
Use command git update-git-for-windows
Git Bash
Note, if you are instead looking to find out what version of Git Bash you are running, or want to see if you need to update Git Bash, it is part of Git for Windows.
So your Git Bash version is:
git --version
git version 2.23.0.windows.1
Note that it is technically different from Bash. On my same machine when I run:
echo $BASH_VERSION
4.4.23(1)-release
Git for Windows installer
To update to the latest version of Git and Git Bash, you can download and install the latest version of Git for Windows. As per this FAQ, settings/customizations should be preserved if they were installed in the appropriate configuration folders.
Note: Their installer is actually intelligently designed to do the right thing (though it doesn't tell you upfront that it defaults to your prior settings automatically!).
If you are doing an update, then every screen on the installer is pre-marked with the settings from your current (soon to be previous) install.
It is not showing you generic default settings. You do not need to look any of them up, or fear for breaking your carefully honed setup. Just leave everything as is, to retain your previous choices.
In fact, they made it even easier (if only it was clear that they did so).
There is a checkbox at the bottom [] Show only new settings (I don't remember the exact wording). Since nothing on the first screen changes when you mark the box, it is not exactly obvious what it is for. If you mark the box, then all of your current settings will be retained, and it will skip showing those (subsequent) settings screens to you. Only screens with newly introduced settings will be shown.
git update-git-for-windows
Alternatively, as others have noted, you can also update Git Bash and Git (by definition, both are always updated at the same time) from the Git Bash command line, via:
git update-git-for-windows
If you type git update, Git kindly reminds you that the command has been updated to git update-git-for-windows:
Warning! git update has been deprecated;
Please use git update-git-for-windows instead.
Git for Windows 2.26.0.windows.1 (64bit)
Up to date
Just give the following command with your command prompt.
git update-git-for-windows
This will ask you a confirmation as follows. Press Y to proceed.
Once the files are downloaded, continue with the normal installation procedures. You can check the Git version after finishing installation with the following command:
git version
For me, the result was as follows.
Update (26 September 2016): It is no longer needed to uninstall your previous version of Git to upgraded it to the latest; the installer package found at Git Windows download site takes care of all. Just follow the prompts.
For additional information, follow instructions at installing and upgrading Git.
If you just type
git update-git-for-windows
If you are having issues with it, run Bash as administrator or add the 'git.exe' path to the "allowed apps through controlled folder access".
If you have already installed Git, you can update Git with the command
git update-git-for-windows
to know the current version, use:
git --version
You can run these commands in the cmd prompt.
Check version: git --version
If your Git version is 2.27.0.windows.1 or earlier
If the version is equal to or greater than Git 2.27.0.windows.1
Use command git update-git-for-windows
If you want to see a video tutorial click here.
Just run:
git update-git-for-windows
Use git update-git-for-windows as in this session:
PS Z:\MERN-STACK-ECOMMERCE-PROJECT> git --version
git version 2.31.0.windows.1
PS Z:\MERN-STACK-ECOMMERCE-PROJECT> git update-git-for-windows
Git for Windows 2.31.0.windows.1 (64bit)
Update 2.33.1.windows.1 is available
Download and install Git for Windows 2.33.1 [N/y]? y
############################################################################################################ 100.0%-
############################################################################################################ 100.0%
PS Z:\MERN-STACK-ECOMMERCE-PROJECT> git --version
git version 2.33.1.windows.1
PS Z:\MERN-STACK-ECOMMERCE-PROJECT>
Using the command "where git" find out how command prompt picks up the version. Once you have the path, you can go ahead and uninstall / delete previous version completely. Then if you install and make sure the new installed location is in the path, it should just work fine.
Using git-friendly tools like cmder will make your life much easier. You don't really have to use dual boot or cygwin anymore since the support for git in windows is already top-notch now. (Git for windows installs msysgit which includes all necessary unix tools from MinGW. MinGW has been there for a while and is pretty stable. If you want you can install the full version of msysgit rather than Git for Windows. msysgit is available on Git for windows page at the bottom.)
You can use,
git update
Or if you are on a Windows machine, you can run the command below,
git update-git-for-windows
Based on Simon's answer, I first uninstalled the new version of Git. I then re-installed the new version of Git into the same directory as the old version, C:/RailsInstaller/Git, instead of the default directory C:/Git.
Now my Ruby on Rails terminal window shows that I am running the new Git version 1.8.0.
If you look at the most recent update on Git's website in the "git via git" section you will see an option to update your older version.
Here is the command that git has on their site:
git clone https://github.com/git/git
It worked for my version of git which was a 2.13.0.windows.1.
To check out your PATH variable, act as follows:
From the Desktop, right-click My Computer and click Properties.
Click the Advanced System Settings link in the left column.
In the System Properties window click the Environment Variables button.
Once there, scroll to get the Path row. You'll get a long string of paths (e.g., C:\windows\bin;C:\program files\git, etc.).
Find the line or lines where git is referenced. Then, make sure this path point to your Git 1.8.x installation. If not, delete it and add the real path to the newest Git version. At the end, you should only have one path in the string linking to Git.
I don't think your problem is related to Windows' global PATH environment variable, as remote is specific to repositories.
I recommend you to use Git under Cygwin. Git could work under Windows command line, but there may be some weird problems hard to figure out. Under Cygwin it's more nature and has fewer errors.
All you need is to type bash in Window CMD, and then start to use the Unix tools and commands. You can use a shortcut to load bash; it's as easy as use normal Windows CMD.
The same is true for Ruby on Rails and Ruby. I used RailsInstaller before, but I found using Cygwin to install Rails is more stable.
Finally, I'll suggest to install Ubuntu dual boot if you have time (about a month to get familiar with it). Windows is not very friendly to every Unix tools ultimately. You'll find all pain stopped.
On my Windows 10, > git update-git-for-windows refused to work with curl issues. Only the below command worked.
winget install --id Git.Git -e --source winget
I'm having the same problem as this thread: Git hangs indefinitely - broke with osx credential helper I think
Basically -- had been running git without problems, then installed the credential-osxkeychain and git began hanging indefinitely after any command. e.g., running git init results in a hanging prompt and any input creates an error: bad input
I tried following the advice to delete git from usr/bin/git but now it doesn't recognize anything. I tried reinstalling git but now it doesn't seem to recognize it.
I ran which git and it returns: /usr/local/git/bin/git
I'm somewhat new at this and don't have the balls to just start running sudo commands and moving things around in the /usr/bin directory.
Any ideas what I can do to fix this?
I had the same problem and fixed it thusly:
uninstall git via the uninstall.sh that comes with the install
reinstall git via the installer
run which git and cd to the folder containing git (eg. cd /usr/local/git/bin/)
run curl -O http://github-media-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/osx/git-credential-osxkeychain
run chmod u+x git-credential-osxkeychain
run git config --global credential.helper osxkeychain
Fixed.
Still not totally sure what I actually did to fix this problem, but resetting the terminal ended up getting it to work.
I had the same problem.
I didnt have git 1.7.10 or later installed. Messed everything up.
To fix, I had to delete git and install a newer version.
I used homebrew to install, after deleting.
is working again.
To fix this I reinstalled git from http://git-scm.com/download/mac
and then added /usr/local/git/bin to the top of the file /etc/paths
I've installed XCode and therefore git is there as well. Since i want to have a newer version of git I installed using homebrew.
But the homebrew version of git is never called since my PATH looks like this
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
which means the /usr/bin/git is allways called before /usr/local/bin/git.
Is there a way to change that without changing the PATH?
Xcode is actually using the GIT that is stored in /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin. The same version of GIT gets installed in /usr/bin when you installed the command line tools as part of Xcode installation. So, you won't be able to change what Xcode is using (unless you are willing to muck with the contents of the Xcode package). If, from a terminal application, you want to use the homebrew-installed GIT then you have two options:
Reference GIT with the full path as /usr/local/bin/git ... For this case you can create an alias like alias mgit=/usr/local/bin/git and then use mgit ... from the terminal
Change the path as PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH either in your .bashrc or .zshrc if you use zsh file (or each time you start a terminal at the command line).
Since Xcode hard coded its own version of git which is installed on /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/git, I managed to use this work around trick:
change into the Xcode directory:
cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin
rename the Xcode's git like this:
sudo mv ./git ./git-xcode-usr-bin
link my own git which is installed through homebrew:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/git ./git
And I did the same thing with /usr/bin/git
This will acctually link /usr/local/Cellar/git/1.8.0/bin/git (because I'm use git 1.8.0 at the present)
Certainly this may cause some other problems, such as when I upgrade the homebrew's verion git in the future, it would not work for me :( and I have to make a new link then.
I do it like this because I want to solve my own problem here 13177203. And after search StackOverFlow for a long time, I finally got this solution.
If you are using fish shell instead of bash, you can point to your preferred git binary by adding the following to ~/.config/fish/config.fish.
function git
/usr/local/bin/git $argv;
end
