Re: [git-users] Silent install?

[Will Lucas]

Sorry yes, I did mean Windows.
And that is perfect, the /SAVEINF! 

Thank you so much for your help.

Well, from "silent install" and ".exe" it's possible to guess you're
talking about Windows and Git for Windows.  Both of its available
versions (the latest "legacy" release, 1.9.5 and the new 2.x.x) are
packaged using Inno Setup and hence tricks the installers generated by
that product apply:
1) The installer is able to run in a "simulated" mode in which it allows
   the user to make the necessary choices in the installer's UI and
   save them in an INI-formatted file which can later be used for
   "preceeding" the installation.  That's the "/SAVEINF=name"
   and "/LOADINF=name" command-line options.
2) It supports the "/SILENT" and "/VERYSILENT" command-line options.

Not sure by which conventions "/S" has some stanzardized meaning.

[git-users] Silent install?

[Will Lucas]

Hi all,

I was wondering if there are any install flags for git to be installed 
silently and to be able to pre-choose the install options to make it 
completely silent? Using the standard '/S' flag for the .exe just seems to 
launch it as normal.

Thanks,

Hi Konstantin,
This sounds ideal for the G4W wiki (assuming it isn't already there and I 
missed it).

Stock Git for Windows installer is prepared using the InnoSetup program
and hence should obey the /SILENT and /VERYSILENT command-line options.
Note that this will install Git with default settings.
IIRC, there's currently no way to somehow affect (or preseed) this --
you will need to either hack the installation script according to your
needs and build your own setup package or perform certain post-install
steps (which can be scripted, see [1]).

As to Linux, I don't see how your question applies here.  For a start,
Linux is the name of an OS kernel, not an OS in itself.
And Linux-based usually package Git already so installing it is a
matter of running something like
# apt-get install git
so I fail to see how your question applies for this case.

[Gabby Romano]

Thanks you both. I'll check these resources.

Konstantin - you are correct regarding the Linux part - not  really an
issue.
