Environments


Windows

A fickle, proprietary, fragile, expensive monstrosity.

Use a Package Manager

Use winget if you can!

Use Nushell

winget install Nushell.Nushell

Git

Git on Windows is a... 'special' flower.

winget install Git.Git

On big clones errors like this are common:

$ git clone --recurse-submodules -j16 git@github.com:boop/droop.git
Cloning into 'droop'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 2673758, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (49873/49873), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (14594/14594), done.
fetch-pack: unexpected disconnect while reading sideband packetB/s
fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output

Pass --depth 1 to improve the chance it might succeed. Then:

git fetch --unshallow
