Git extras on Windows

I tryed Windows Git shell the git-extras set of utilities from the prolific visionmedia (a.k.a. TJ Holowaychuk).

Installation

Note that git-extras does not support Windows platform. Few commands may not work, see below.

Enter Windows Git shell and launch

git clone https://github.com/visionmedia/git-extras
cd git-extras
cp bin/* /libexec/git-core/

Last command differs from original installation instructions. Launching make install which will not work even if you install make for Windows.

I just copy bins where are located Windows Git shell ones. It seems tough but it works, and enables autocompletion too.

Commands

Not all commands will work, for example git extras will fail cause man is not installed.
The It works flag will be added as soon as I will try commands.
Click on the command to read its documentation on git-extras Readme.md.
