Hey guys ,im new here and i have a problem.

Why i have not “Git Extension” option when i right click on a folder?i can’t clone…

Im using Windows 7,64bit

I already installed following this thread and re-installed git 20 times!

I’m getting the same problem, git is completely unresponsive, re-installed 20 times, and when I click, nothing happens, not even an error window. Win 7 64bit.

You can also use TortoiseGIT, it integrates with Windows 7 x64 quite nicely (and yes, it comes with msysgit as default cli)

I think I got it TrinityCore

During installation of GitExtension (Installation Option 2+3) the fallowing folder will be added to path variable:

C:Program Files (x86)Gitcmd

But in this folder you will only find batchfiles, no executeables.

As mentioned above, I try to insert the folder where the git executeables are located:

“C:Program Files (x86)Gitbin” (At Windows 32 Bit “C:Program FilesGitbin”).

So I add “C:Program Files (x86)Gitbin” to path variable (without “”) and cmake was able to get trinity reviosion number TrinityCore

Please clear your cmake cache or delete the whole build directory!

disagree, c:/Program Files/Git/cmd/git.cmd is OK.

I just followed the wiki a week ago and everything worked fine for me. Pay attention to the installation option questions when installing since you’ll want context menus and path stuff added during the install(s). The wiki does a good job of explaining it in detail but in the event an updated installer changes and doesn’t have the same options either use common sense (not click click click done) or keep notes on what options you did or didn’t enable during your install process so you can ask detailed questions here if you have problems.

I Have Windows 7 64-Bit with Git 1.7.0.2 but in cmake i have this error

CMake Error at cmake/macros/FindGit.cmake:24 (message):

Git was NOT FOUND on your system - did you forget to install a recent version, or setting the path to it?

Observe that for revision hash/date to work you need at least version 1.7

Call Stack (most recent call first):

CMakeLists.txt:65 (find_package)

Now i setting the path in variables from my environment variables but what is the true variable path string? Is really C:Program Files (x86)Gitcmd ? Because to me not work…

Thank you guys.

For anyone still having cmake error git not found, try to run cmake as admin

Problem:

Could not find a proper repository signature (hash) - you may need to pull tags with git fetch -t
Continuing anyway - note that the versionstring will be set to "unknown 1970-01-01 00:00:00 (Archived)"

How to repeat:

Make TC’s repo clone, push some commits to your new repo and merge with TC’s one.

Solution:

Go to https://github.com/TrinityCore/TrinityCore/releases/tag/init
Find “init” named tag and its hash (9b1c0e006f20091f28f3f468cfcab1feb51286bd)
Go with git into your cloned repo and type:

git tag -a init 9b1c0e006f20091f28f3f468cfcab1feb51286bd
git push --tagsYou can also check if everything ok with this command:

git describe --match init --dirty=+ --abbrev=12Output should be like init--
For ex.: init-22656-g15a9c6729ee2

Requirements:

Msysgit can either by acquired directly from msysgit or using the “CompleteSetup” package from GitExtensions.

Msysgit version required: 1.7+

Minimum required TC rev: b2404c1a26d9 (10997)

Setup options:

During the setup wizard you will encounter the following screen:

Make sure your git executable is added to the PATH variable by choosing one of the green marked options.

For those who gives them error and does not show version.
It is almost understandable that it is not so but it is worth clarifying.
If you download the repo as a .zip with the button on the project page it will never show the version.
To show the version you have to clone the project directly with Git

I don’t quite understand what you are saying…

You can check the revision while downloading as a zip.

He says that the issue this thread we are in tries to fix cannot be fixed by using the method described if you downloaded the source as a zip.
If you are saying that you can still do this fix, then maybe share some steps?

The point is not that you cannot get the version of the zip. The point is that you cannot fix the version showing as Trinitycore rev. 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 on startup and in cmake and everywhere.

ah gothca… my bad… I guess the simple question is, why download it as a zip?

Actually… I think there is a way to make a simple batch file (windows) to run that cross references the fresh zipped repo with TC using git api, then interjects or creates a new (genrev.cmake), before someone runs cmake, it would be an extra step for zip downloaders, but would work.

I would just recommend to clone it.
