Just finally updated to Win7 from XP.
I am using Windows Firewall with added Tinywall (gives more control)
But when I use Git Bash, the firewall blocks all commands. If I disable the firewall then everything works OK
I cannot figure the proper exceptions to add to TinyWall whitelist.
I added the shell window as well as the git.exe for application exceptions but still no go. These exceptions program paths I added:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\git-cheetah\..\bin\sh.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\git.exe
Example of error:
$ git pull
ssh: connect to host xxx.xxx.xxx port 22: Bad file number
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
To get TinyWall to work with git over SSH, you must white-list:
sh.exe
git.exe
ssh.exe
To work with git over HTTPS, you need only whitelist:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\libexec\git-core\git-remote-https.exe
or
C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\libexec\git-core\git-remote-https.exe
