• Configures global Git settings (e.g., default branch to main, CRLF handling).

2. Install Git via Direct Download

install_git.cmd

• Downloads the latest Git installer (v2.50.1 – update the script for newer versions).
• Installs to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Git with predefined options (Vim as editor, OpenSSH, etc.).
• Handles downloads via curl, PowerShell, or bitsadmin.

3. Update Git

update_git.cmd

• Uses Git's built-in updater to fetch and install the latest version.
• Run as a regular user.

4. Uninstall Git

uninstall_git.cmd

• Requires Administrator privileges (right-click and run as admin).
• Searches common paths like %ProgramFiles%\Git, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Git.
• Runs the uninstaller silently and cleans up remaining files.

🛠️ Additional Tools

The Tools folder contains helpful utilities for managing Git repositories and configurations:

Repository Management Tools

Bulk Operations for Multiple Repositories

Tools\git_pull_all.cmd

• Automatically finds all Git repositories in the current directory.
• Runs git pull on each repository to fetch the latest changes.
• Perfect for keeping multiple projects up-to-date at once.

Tools\git_push_all.cmd

• Finds all Git repositories in the current directory.
• Prompts for a commit message.
• Stages all changes (git add .), commits with your message, and pushes to remote.
• Great for quickly committing and pushing changes across multiple projects.

Tools\git_gc_all.cmd

• Runs garbage collection (git gc) on all repositories in the current directory.
• Optimizes repository size and performance by cleaning up unnecessary files.
• Useful for maintaining repository health across multiple projects.

Configuration Tools

User Details Setup

Tools\git_set_details.cmd

• Essential for ensuring your commits are properly attributed.

Line Ending Configuration

Tools\set_git_crlf.cmd

• Sets Git to use CRLF (Windows-style) line endings.
• Configures core.autocrlf=true and core.eol=crlf.
• Recommended for Windows-only development environments.

• Sets Git to use LF (Unix/Linux-style) line endings.
• Configures core.autocrlf=false and core.eol=lf.
• Recommended for cross-platform development or when working with Unix/Linux systems.

Usage Tips

• Run the bulk operation tools from a parent directory containing multiple Git repositories.
• All tools include built-in Git installation checks and error handling.
• Tools automatically skip non-Git directories when scanning for repositories.
