A way to access Git without installing client software? (Web access available?)

Tags:

git

If I am working on a project from a hotel computer, is there a way to access a git repository (gitorious) using a web based client? I have a portable c++ compiler for the coding part, but I need to download and commit files to git without the ability to install git software. A portable git client would also work.

How do you use git without installing it?

You don't have to install git with an installer. You just download the source tarball, extract it, cd into the directory, and run ./configure --prefix=/path/to/install/folder/ , make , and make install . From there, cd into the bin folder and run it.

Do you need git installed to use GitHub?

To use Git on the command line, you will need to download, install, and configure Git on your computer. You can also install GitHub CLI to use GitHub from the command line. For more information, see "About GitHub CLI."

Updating the new link to download portable Git for Windows archive file -

https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/releases

========

Update: 2015-09

It seems like msysgit is now redundant. Please see this - msysGit vs Git for Windows

The portable git 2.x version is available here - https://git-scm.com/download/win

A download starts automatically. You may cancel that one. Instead , there is a link to the "thumbdrive version" on the page.

Alternatively - https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases
