Some notes about setting up development environment on Windows 10.

Git for Windows (git bash)

How to get python to work properly in git bash

Python requires a win32 console to run, so you need to launch it with winpty, open /etc/profile.d/aliases.sh if you don't see your python executable here, just append it at the end.

You can significantly speed up Git on Windows by running three commands to set some config options:

git config --global core.preloadindex true
git config --global core.fscache true
git config --global gc.auto 256

Notes:

  • core.preloadindex does filesystem operations in parallel to hide latency (update: enabled by default in Git 2.1)
  • core.fscache fixes UAC issues so you don't need to run Git as administrator (update: enabled by default in Git for Windows 2.8)
  • gc.auto minimizes the number of files in .git/
