# Install-Uninstall-GIT-Windows

## Features

- **Automated Git Installation**

  - Downloads Git directly from the official Git for Windows repository

  - Configures Git with sensible defaults using an INI configuration file

  - Performs silent installation with no user interaction required

  - Easy version updating via environmental variable

- **Thorough Git Uninstallation**

  - Detects Git installations in multiple standard locations

  - Closes running Git processes before uninstallation

  - Performs complete cleanup of remaining files

  - Handles multiple Git installations

## Requirements

- 64-bit Windows operating system (64-bit for installation only)

- Administrative privileges

- Internet connection (for installation only)

## Usage

### Installing Git

1. Right-click on `install_git.cmd`

2. Select "Run as administrator"

3. Wait for the installation to complete

The script will:

- Create a temporary directory

- Download the Git installer

- Create a configuration file

- Install Git silently

- Clean up temporary files

### Uninstalling Git

1. Right-click on `uninstall_git.cmd`

2. Select "Run as administrator"

3. Wait for the uninstallation to complete

The script will:

- Check for Git installations in common locations

- Close any running Git processes

- Uninstall Git from all found locations

- Remove remaining files and directories

## Default Installation Settings

The installation script configures Git with the following default settings:

- Main as the default branch

- Command line Git integration

- OpenSSH for SSH operations

- OpenSSL for HTTPS transport

- Windows-style line endings (CRLF)

- Enabled credential manager

- Enabled filesystem cache

- Disabled symlinks

- Disabled filesystem monitor

You can manually download `Git-2.47.0-64-bit.exe` and record the parameters to a file using `/SAVEINF="filename"` if you want to change the default options set in the installer but are unsure of the parameters you want.

Example for saving selected options to a file during an interactive run started from the command-line:

```

Git-2.47.0-64-bit.exe /SAVEINF=git_options.ini

```

## Troubleshooting

### Installation Issues

- Ensure you have administrative privileges

- Check your internet connection

- Verify that the temporary directory is accessible

- Make sure no antivirus is blocking the download

### Uninstallation Issues

- Ensure you have administrative privileges

- Close any applications using Git

- If manual cleanup is required, delete Git directories manually

- Check the Windows Event Viewer for detailed error messages
