[yigitemres]

Today I also encountered this problem after I update git.
I do not know if this error was caused by git or scoop.
But yesterday there is no such problem.

translate: Git for Windows has stopped working

[yigitemres]

@lfkid can you go to "~\scoop\apps\scoop\current" folder and type "git status"?

[oltolm]

I also have this problem.

git --version
git version 2.16.1.windows.2

If I do a git pull in the scoop repository then git crashes.

[lfkid]

@yigitemres thanks for the reply.
yeah, this is the result:

[yigitemres]

@oltolm can you go to "~scoop\appsscoop\current" folder and type "git status", too?

[yigitemres]

@lfkid our problems and possibly @oltolm problems are identical. something broken in current scoop build.

[oltolm]

git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

nothing to commit, working tree clean

[yigitemres]

@oltolm thats interesting. mine git status says "its not git repo". another weird thing is that when i trying to pull/fetch upstream local scoop fork, git also crashed.

May be it was git bug. I try to run git manually (not install from scoop) and get same error. Roll back to 2.16.1.windows.1 version seems work for me.

[yigitemres]

@SummerSad cant rollback either inside scoop. you maybe right about git problem but im tested already. my own repos for dotfiles works like a charm under [email protected].

PS C:\Users\yigit\Desktop> scoop install [email protected]
Scoop uses Git to update itself. Run 'scoop install git' and try again.

What I did:

Download 2.16.1.w.1 manually from here: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases (Direct Link for x64: click

Extract it, copy and overwrite the content to: C:\Users\USER\scoop\apps\git\2.16.1.windows.2
Reopened Powershell (not sure if needed, did it just in case)

PS C:\Users\foobar> git --version
git version 2.16.1.windows.1

Not sure if it will throw out errors when updating, but I guess a simple re-install of git when its updated will do.

[r15ch13]

This is definitely a problem with git (git-remote-https.exe)
I downgraded it to version 2.16.1.windows.1 and locked the auto-update. Try reinstalling it.

Edit:
If your GIT installation is already broken follow these steps to install GIT temporarily, then update scoop and reinstall GIT as a normal/upgradable version.

> scoop uninstall git
> scoop install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lukesampson/scoop/master/bucket/git.json
> scoop update
> scoop uninstall git
> scoop install git

@r15ch13 thank you. can you downgrade git-with-openssh repo too?

[r15ch13]

@yigitemres done 😁

[yigitemres]

@r15ch13 when i ever want something from you, i feel very ashamed because i cant help this wonderful project as much as you guys do. thank you! 🥇

[r15ch13]
