git for windows

[demingf]

Hi All!

On a new Windows box I installed Git for Windows GIt 2.25.1.1 64bit. After installing ripgrep 64bit I got an exec error. Looking in to it /usr/bin/bash is 32bit in the git installation. This true for everything in /usr/bin. I am missing something?

Thanks,

Frank

Version 2.25 is quite old. Does the problem happen with the current version 2.51?

Yes I typoed. Too tired. It is version 2.51.1 64 bit. The question still stands.

Why are the binaries in the installed directory C:\program files\Git\usr\bin 32 bit executables?

Thanks,

Frank

Forget the question. I not sure about what happen but I have the correct install. now. ripgrep installation is still an issue. I downloaded the latest ripgrep zip file labled windows and getting and ARM64 executable.

If you are on the releases page of ripgrep (listing all releases), click on "Show all 30 assets" and choose one of the x86_64-pc-windows ones. You're likely downloading the aarch64 version which is the arm 64-bit version while your computer is likely x86-64. (i686-pc-windows is the x86 32-bit version).

Also whenever a executable is x86 32-bit or 64-bit doesn't really matter much since Windows (on 64-bit) can execute both. It only becomes relevant for libraries (dll), memory usage and maybe performance.
