What do the Installation Screens look like?

[davidkane9]

I don't use Windows but many of my students do. I tell those students to install Git for Windows. I want to provide them with some quidance for that process, so it would be useful for me to see the installation screens. Where can I find them?

Specifically, I want to know what the "Git Bash" --- or is it "Git BASH"? --- screen looks like and whether or not the option to install Git Bash is selected by default.

You can see most of them here:

Some of them might vary slightly based on external factors. For example the SSH page will only offer Putty as an option if it detects Putty on the system.

There is no option to not install Git Bash.

Probably "Git Bash"

Unless you want to say "Bogus Abbreviations Sometimes Hilaaaaarious". 😉

(And yes, technically, "bash" is sort of a backronym, it stands for "Bourne Again SHell". Of course, the "SH" is abbreviating not two, but only one word, so it's somewhat hilarious indeed. Even more hilarious is the fact that the name itself was a word play riffing on the now long-forgotten "Bourne Shell".)

Thanks! Just an FYI that the homepage uses "Git BASH."
