Stewart X AddisonI wouldn't have thought that <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Windows</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#security</a> would make it quite so easy to bypass an access issue ... Can't rename a file with the windows commands, but doing it with <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/cygwin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cygwin</a>'s mv succeeds ...

Dane :debian: :openbsd:<a href="https://mastodon.social/@dheadshot" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@dheadshot</a>Pretty sure I haven't used <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/PuTTY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PuTTY</a> once since 2013, but that's just because I've been on MacOSX and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> the whole time, and the few times I had to use windows, I just used <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Cygwin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Cygwin</a>.Not enough love, Cygwin. It's like reverse-WINE. (Of course, it does help that Windows has a (probably badly implemented and somewhat cursed) POSIX layer.)

I think they run their own git server.

Klaus Zimmermann :unverified:For the handsome folks that want to try this, here's a tip: the wonderful option --no-admin of the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/cygwin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cygwin</a> installer will cleverly not touch anything UAC-related, thus not raising any alerts to your neighboring sysadmin ;)

FiXato@claudiom@mastodon.sdf.org <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/WSL" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WSL</a> is one of the best things that has happened to <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Windows</a> for me. Haven't really used <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Cygwin" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Cygwin</a> since. Looking forward to when it properly is integrated with native audio and graphics though.

[mdrights@pinephone:~]<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/askfediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#askfediverse</a> : any interesting packages to install in <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/cygwin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cygwin</a>?

FiXatoHmm, I really should install and set up <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/FuzZyBookmarks" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FuzZyBookmarks</a> aka <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/FZB" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FZB</a> on this system. It's a lovely script for bookmarking directories through a <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/CLI" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CLI</a> using <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/FZF" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FZF</a>.I have a vague memory of making changes to it while running it under <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Termux" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Termux</a> and <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Cygwin" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Cygwin</a>, but I can't remember if they were functional changes, or just to get it to work on those configs. Guess I'll dig up the archived dirs, and compare them. :)

Aral BalkanBack on getting sync working on Windows in Site.js. I think I finally grok how paths and line-endings work via cygwin and so the next step is to integrate this into the binary and patch it in. What a world of hurt.PS.
