Trying to get svn2git working on Windows - ruby

I'm migrating an SVN repository over to Git. The git-svn command doesn't handle the branches and tags properly but I stumbled across a tool called svn2git which seems to resolve this (https://github.com/nirvdrum/svn2git).
I've tried setting up this tool to work on Windows but I've not had much success.
I started off by copying the svn2git installation to C:\svn2git and downloading Ruby for Windows (http://rubyinstaller.org/) and saved it at C:\Ruby193.
Running svn2git came back with
/bin/env: ruby: No such file or directory
I then copied Ruby's bin and lib folders to svn2git's bin and lib folders respectively.
Running the svn2git then came back with
<internal:gem_prelude>:1:in `require': cannot load such file -- rubygems.rb (LoadError) from <internal:gem_prelude>:1:in `<compiled>'
Does anyone know how to get this working on Windows environment? Thanks

Obviously, rubygems.rb is missing. Install it as documented here:
https://rubygems.org/pages/download
Then, install svn2git as instructed here:
https://github.com/nirvdrum/svn2git
After that, everything shall be fine.

I'd suggest you to try SubGit tool. It does translate Subversion tags as tags and works well on Windows (requires Java 5 or newer). SubGit is ready to use. You may get latest build at download page and read documentation on the web site.
Originally in 2012 early SubGit versions required local access to Subversion repository (over file system) but later on (by 2015) on network access to subversion was added.
Disclaimer: I'm SubGit developer.

If all you want to migrate from SVN is the trunk and it's commit history, you can easily do it with the following git commands:
git svn init --prefix=svn/ --no-metadata --trunk=http://[svnHostName]/svn/[projectTrunkUrl] --no-minimize-url
git svn fetch --log-window-size=4000
Tadahhh! You have initialized your local git repository with all your SVN trunk repository history!
Now you probably want to add a default remote and push:

Jenkins, git 'advanced' commands (fetch, diff etc) and ssh-agent (Windows Server)

We have x86 Jenkins running on Windows Server 2016. No issues with pull of repo over ssh, both for projects and with git plugin in the pipeline.
Now I would like to be able to execute a 'git diff' command after a fetch from origin. I installed the Jenkins plugin "sshagent" and am attempting to execute the git commands from that context. From that plugins page it appears I no longer need to use Tomcat Native Libraries (quote: As of 1.14 unnecessary if ssh-agent is installed)
My direct issue is the error "Check if ssh-agent is installed and in PATH". I would prefer not to use Tomcat version if possible. I suppose I am trying to understand why every search I do implies ssh-agent.exe should be part of git, but it is not in my 'bin' folder.
Open to other ways to accomplish the stated goal (execute git diff), including foregoing ssh connection to the git server, but that also looks to be not straightforward.
This ended up being fairly straightforward, ssh-agent.exe was in git/usr/bin not git/bin. adding it to path per Druta suggestion resolved

remote-https is not a git command when cloning repo

On a Windows (version 10) machine, with the latest git client at the time of writing (2.18.0.windows.1), cloning repositories using HTTPS fails with error:
git: 'remote-https' is not a git command.
After a bit of research it turns out that git comes with several remote-<command> utilities, with remote-https being one of them. The error message therefore seems to tell us that `remote-https is not installed on the machine.
After a bit more research, it seems that similar problems for other developers were solved by installing curl. The machine we're dealing with does have curl (7.46.0) installed as well.
We tried reinstalling the git client a couple of times entirely from git-scm.com as well as gitforwindows.org, both resulting in the same error.
Any help or pointer to get this fixed is highly appreciated.
I just fixed the error in my build env. hope my solution is useful to you.
my env: Windows10+Jenkins+git
git version 2.18.
I just reinstall the git into windows, with a different selection during the installation:"MINTTY". after reinstall, I found the remote-https under my git install directory.
also, you need to set the jenkins env. make sure that the new git path which was included in the Jenkins env configure. if you "echo %Path%", and you can find the new git path which included the remote-https, then you are fine.

Error with git pull and git push [duplicate]

I'm using Git (and GitHub) on a daily basis and everything has been working fine and all of a sudden, I can no longer communicate with my remote GitHub repository through my Git commands. When I try to "Git pull", it gives the following error:
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/snahrvar/eatibl.git/':
error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert
protocol version
So, I tested across multiple repositories, and I get the same errors on my computer. I had someone else interact with those same repositories, and it works fine for them. Prior to this error, I did an "npm install sharp" on a project and that ended up failing, and I suspect this may have messed with some SSL setting, but that's a wild guess!
Any general thoughts or guidance would be much appreciated!
If it's helpful at all, here is my environment:
Git version: 1.9.4.msysgit.2
Windows version: Windows 8.1
Updating TortoiseGit and GCM didn't help me, but updating Git itself did, as per #Frederic's advice in comments.
https://git-scm.com/download/win
To make sure the new version of Git installs properly and doesn't conflict with previous installations (it might, if you used TortoiseGit's, because it would use different folders and mess with PATH variable), remove the existing Git installation before installing the updated Git. Might also need to install with administrator rights.
You're likely running into an incompatibility with GitHub's deprecation of weak SSL encryption protocols:
Weak cryptographic standards removal notice
The solution will vary, but for Windows you likely need to upgrade the Git credential manager to 1.14.0
https://github.com/Microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-for-Windows/releases/tag/v1.14.0
If you are using Android Studio or IntelliJ IDEA, updating Git to the latest version and changing the path to point to the new version solve the problem for me.
Using TortoiseGit, I did all of the other fixes/updates given for this and still no success. I found this: Can't git push/pull/fetch suddenly
My TortoiseGit settings for Git for Windows Git.exe path was pointing to C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin. I changed it to C:\Program Files\Git\bin and now it's working again.
This is what worked for me.
Install the latest version of Git from here: https://git-scm.com/download/win
In TortoiseGit, go to menu Settings → General → Git.exe Path - change it from 32-bit to 64-bit path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin → C:\Program Files\Git\bin
Updating Git was not enough in my situation. After debugging for several hours, this was my fix:
C:\wamp64\www\maandlastenmanager> git config http.sslVersion
tslv1.0
C:\wamp64\www\maandlastenmanager> git config http.sslVersion tlsv1.2
C:\wamp64\www\maandlastenmanager> git config http.sslVersion
tslv1.2
I had this same problem while pulling code from GitHub on my Visual Studio Code terminal. I found the advice in the previous answers useful and hacked a solution together following the steps below:
I updated Git.
I updated Git Credential Manager for Windows.
Made some changes to the registry.
Updated my Visual Studio Code installation to the latest version.
Changed my Windows path for Git from C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin. to C:\Program Files\Git\bin.
This repository was quite useful.
I hope this helps someone.
TL;DR: git config --system http.sslbackend schannel and switch off HTTPS checks for github.com in your antivirus software
I'm using the Git command line on Windows 8 x64. In addition, my antivirus software checks HTTPS traffic by default. Like other people in answering this question, I use GitHub almost daily.
Updating Git - didn't help - because I used OpenSSL (see below)
Updating credential manager - didn't help
Then I started playing with switching the SSL backend:
git config --system http.sslbackend openssl
----------------vs------------------
git config --system http.sslbackend schannel
and the antivirus software checks for SSL traffic:
OpenSSL, HTTPS checks ON: error:0407006A:rsa routines:RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1:block type is not 01
OpenSSL, HTTPS checks OFF: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
SecureChannel, HTTPS checks ON: schannel: next InitializeSecurityContext failed: Unknown error (0x80092012) - The revocation function was unable to check revocation for the certificate.
SecureChannel, HTTPS checks OFF: worked fine
P.S.: Instead of commandline, you can just reinstall the latest Git, selecting "Use native Windows SSL validation library".
P.P.S.: The case (3) seems to be a bug in the schannel library, because the MITM certificate my antivirus software uses is whitelisted on my machine.
On macOS, you can install the latest git via Homebrew.
Same for me with Git 1.9.5.msysgit.1 too. I tried to install https://github.com/Microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-for-Windows/releases/tag/v1.14.0, but no change.
Actually, nothing happen after installation; maybe I'm doing something wrong? (That may not help for the initial question, but for other people, yes!)
Yeah, I encountered the same issue on a pull request today and the solution was to simply update Git by downloading the latest (2.16.2) 64-bit version of Git for Windows. It was released 5 days ago, on 2018-02-20.
The comment by #andw worked for me:
Update Git version 1.9.5 to 2.15.1 using these steps:
In sourceTree, go to menu Tools → Options → Git → Use Embedded Git.
A quick solution would be git config --global http.sslVerify true, but it is not recommended as it defeats the purpose using SSL.
A second and better way is to use ssh keys rather than an SSL URL.
Steps to generate SSH keys
o Run the following command in a Git terminal (Git Bash): ssh-keygen
After running the command, the following message will appear:
Generating public/private RSA key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/h//.ssh/id_rsa):
Give the path for the key to be stored in, for example, enter the file in which to save the key (/h//.ssh/id_rsa): C:\Users\Public\my-new-ssh-key
Then give the passphrase for that key (any password of minimum 8 characters)
• Next run the following command: eval “$(ssh-agent –s)”
• Run the following command: ssh-add C:/Users/Public/my-new-ssh-key Note: use forward slash in the path to the newly created SSH key.
After that, add the contents of the file my-new-ssh-key.pub and add it in the text area for Add public key (Bitbucket, GitHub, etc.)
While connecting to a remote repository to fetch, pull, push, etc., I had the same error:
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/repository.git/': error:1
407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version
I just reinstalled Git 64-bit in place of 32-bit and that fixed the issue.
After installation, verify the Git path in environment variables. It should be:
C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe
This is an issue with IntelliJ and RubyMine. GitHub must have disabled SSL (PCI compliance maybe?) in favor of TLS. If you open Settings in IntelliJ or RubyMine and navigate to Version Control > Git, you'll see it's using a git.exe installed under the application's path. You should download the most current version of Git and change the path in your VCS settings to point to that, e.g. C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe if you install it on Windows. Works like a charm after that.
Sometimes, this is caused by outdated msysgit which is using old ssl and not maintained any more, you can install latest git for windows, and point the git.exe path in tortoise setting to it, then this problem gone.
Git version upgrade did the trick for me. I had the version 1.9.5 and so and I upgraded to 2.21.0 on windows. Also upgrading is very easy. We don't need to uninstall the older version. Download the latest Git installer and just keep on pressing next using default options and the version will be changed to new version and all the old settings will still be working like ssh keys etc. We don't need to generate the keys again and put on github or any other repository.
Earlier my https protocol cloning was not working and giving error
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/tensorflow/models/':
error:1407742E: SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert
protocol version
Once I downloaded new version and ran the same clone command it worked without any issues.
I also came across to this problem recently
What worked for me was to revert an automatic update of git
Encountered a similar error.
On windows, Updated git on windows to the latest version.
That fixed the problem.

How do I use git-new-workdir on windows?

I have a repo that has two branches, which i would like to work on simultaneously.
After some reading I found git has a script git-new-workdir.
Im trying run use the script from the git for windows bash but get the following error.
$ git-new-workdir
sh: git-new-workdir: command not found
How do I use this script on windows?
Due to some of the commands in the git-new-workdir functions not existing on windows, the script won't work.
I have found this windows port of the script. Works great for me.
https://github.com/joero74/git-new-workdir
Git 2.5 (Q2 2015) will replace contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir with an official native Git command which works on any OS (including Windows).
The release notes mentions:
does not rely on symbolic links and make sharing of objects and refs safer by making the borrowee and borrowers aware of each other.
That is because the multiple working trees are "linked", or actually recorded in the main repo new $GIT_DIR/worktrees folder.
See "Multiple working directories with Git?" for more.
On my installation, the script file is located in /usr/share/git/contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir.
Perhaps if it's not installed in that version of git, you can just download its raw form and run it with bash /path/to/git-new-workdir. At your preference you can also install it in /usr/local/bin changing permissions when necessary.

Git over SSH Server in Windows, cannot find shared libraries

I was to setup an SSH Server to Host my Git Repository to my local area network. I followed this tutorial by TimDavis hoping that I would be able to make a secured Git Repository.
I tested my connection using Putty and it was successful. My only problem was I cannot run "git" command in the console. Then I tried cloning my repository, and this was the error that outputed:
/usr/bin/git-upload-pack.exe: error while loading shared libraries:
libiconv2.dll: cannot open shared object file:
No such file or directory
Also when I ran "git" command in the Putty Bash that was connected to the SSH Server, this was the error I encountered:
/usr/bin/git.exe: error while loading shared libraries: pthreadGC2.dll:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I seems that all my problem was about the missing libraries but I don't know how to solve it. I am using Windows 7 as an Operating System.
Thanks
As explained here: http://christopherpeplin.com/2013/01/cygwin-git-https/ the sasl libraries and the ca-certificates are missing. Install them by running the setup of cygwin, and installing libsasl2 and ca-certificates packages (the first is support for SSL and the second the root certificates that will be used for SSL authentication).
I got this error too. I tried copying not just git.exe but the corresponding dlls (libiconv, etc...) from the git bin directory to the CopSsh bin directory and it went away.
Hi if you are talking about the following article:
http://www.timdavis.com.au/git/setting-up-a-msysgit-server-with-copssh-on-windows/
Then try to modify the path. Just add add the following lines into \home\.bashrc :
export PATH=$PATH:/cygdrive/d/programs/Git/bin:/cygdrive/d/programs/Git/libexec/git-core
Where d/programs/Git is a d:\programs\Git -- is a path to msysgit installation
I also found that git submodule update would fail on Cygwin due to another broken dependency, where you need to install the gettext package as well.
