    <p>Are they not the same thing?</p> <p>On: <a href="http://msysgit.github.com/" rel="noreferrer">http://msysgit.github.com/</a> The title is Git for Windows, the application is msysgit.</p> <p>Even in the event they are not, I expect the only differences will be in the method of compilation (i.e. compiler used and any options set) and any extraneous packaging (such as having a bash emulating shell as in msysgit). The actual product (Git itself) should remain broadly similar.</p> <hr> <p><strong>Edit</strong>: Thanks to Jarrod for pointing this out. I've left the above in for posterity. To quote the wiki:</p> <blockquote> <p>msysGit is the development environment to compile Git for Windows. It is complete, in the sense that you just need to install msysGit, and then you can build Git. Without installing any 3rd-party software. msysGit is not Git for Windows; that is an installer which installs Git -- and only Git.</p> <p>It is easy to see the difference: the installers for Git have the prefix Git-, the msysGit installers have the prefix msysGit-. Another telltale is that the msysGit installers come in two flavors: fullinstall and netinstall. Further, msysGit does not install to C:\Program Files by default. But msysGit comes with gcc, the GNU C Compiler.</p> </blockquote> <p>So, <a href="http://msysgit.github.com/" rel="noreferrer">the difference between the two projects</a>:</p> <ul> <li><strong>msysGit</strong> is the <code>msys</code>+<code>mingw</code> environment + everything needed to compile Git yourself, on Windows.</li> <li><strong>Git for Windows</strong> is exactly that: Git, compiled for Windows.</li> </ul>

    1. COI don't think they are the same thing. If you follow a link in the one you posted, you will find "msysGit is not Git for Windows" on the wiki

    3. COPlease excuse my ignorance, but why would I want to compile git? If I just wanted to use git for source control on windows, do I need msysGit?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
