## Installing

The preferred method of installing Git Portable is the `.paf.exe` installer ([why?](https://portableapps.com/about/what_is_a_portable_app#whypaf)). It will download Git for Windows as part of the install process.

### Manual Installation

If you prefer, you can alternatively install Git Portable manually:

1. Copy the `GitPortable` directory from this repository to a location of your choice.

2. Download Git for Windows Portable ("thumbdrive edition") from  and extract it to the `GitPortable\App\Git` directory.

3. Run the following command to complete the installation:

```

"GitPortable\App\Git\git-bash.exe" --no-needs-console --hide --no-cd --command=post-install.bat

```

The manual installation instructions can also be used to update the version of Git within an existing Git Portable installation.
