Updating Git in Laragon

haakym

Hi,

How can we update Git that comes with Laragon: C:\laragon\bin\git?

I have the latest git installer for Windows. When running the installer it will of course install to C:\Program Files\git, so I am wondering how to run this for Laragon. Is it simply a matter of copy and pasting the install files over from C:\Program Files\git to C:\laragon\bin\git? Do I need to worry about whether the install is 64-bit or 32-bit?

The current version of Git for Laragon 3.2 is Git 2.9.0. As of Git 2.16.1 I believe it's possible to run git update-git-for-windows from the command line so this should be much easier process, however, I can't do that while on 2.9.0.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I guess another option is to update Cmder to use the system version of Git?

There's a discussion here...

@haakym : In theory you can. You may try:

Rename C:\laragon\bin\git to git.bak
Copy C:\Program Files\git to C:\laragon\bin\git

every time git or github has the latest version, i will remove git in laragon and replace it with a new one. only the new git will have a link in windows explorer. I like to use cmder.
