I'm new to git, I already downloaded the msysgit. I'm working with git a couples weeks now. But I want to start debugging the git source code in Windows. How can I do that? Can I do that using Visual Studio, or there are other methods to debug git?Git uses GNU make as a build tool, so I am not sure if you can develop Git with MS Visual Studio. You should have GNU make installed if you have chosen appropriate version of msysGit (the one with developer tools).I can build the git with make which was installed by msysGit. But I want to debug, not only build.
I don't know if you can debug msysGit with MS Visual Studio. I think you should be able to, as msysGit is native Windows application. But I do not program on MS Windows myself. Perhaps this question should be better asked on msysGit Google Group? http://groups.google.com/group/msysgit -- Jakub Narebski Git User's Survey 2009: http://tinyurl.com/GitSurvey2009
