Git在Windows中更改'.git'文件夹名称

Question

By default git init creates a folder called '.git'. In the recent Visual Studio tools (2005 and up) this works fine. But Visual Studio 2003 (and ... VB6 as well probably) crashes on this foldername. ideally I would like to change this per repository to something like 'git' instead of '.git'. Is this possible?

I know this has been asked before ( relocating the .git folder ) ... but that was in a linux environment. I'm using windows at work sigh .

Hoping there is a simple solution .. otherwise I'll just have to wing it :o But I would rather use sexy git.

edit:

How do you set the GIT_DIR variable on windows? I googled it but it didn't make much sense.

edit2:

Wouldn't an environment variable set it for all repositories on that machine? If so I would have to go into every repository and move the folder manually ... also, I tried setting it to 'git' and when I open the git gui app it tells me "cannot use funny .git repository git". When I use the git console it works ... but honestly this is far from a good solution.

Answer 1

GIT_DIR变量允许您为存储库指定另一个位置。

Answer 2

On Linux, at least, git has a command line option called --git-dir . Whenever you run git, use the --git-dir option. This should exist in the Windows version too, so you could do

 git --git-dir=git_directory status

Perhaps you could put that in a batch file or something to make your life easier.

Answer 3

您应该能够使用此知识库指南设置GIT_DIR环境变量。

Answer 4

I'd suppose the easiest way is to not have any .sln files in the project root.

The project here has about 50 .sln files.

Answer 5

在存储库根目录下至少创建一个级别的所有项目。

Answer 6

as already suggested by Michael

use

--git-dir=dirname

This works on Windows and Linux

The command must come after the specification of the directory.

git --git-dir=.git1234 status

this will not work

git status --git-dir=.git1234 

Also git will not ignore .git1234 as it will .git so make sure you add your new dir name to your .gitignore file
