Is there a way to install Git Flow on Windows? I tried this tutorial but I'm unable to understand it.
I already have Git Installed on my PC, can I use GitFlow from my current Git installation?

For what it's worth, they intend to create an easy installer one day. https://github.com/nvie/gitflow/issues/324 – minopret Sep 02 '15 at 14:18

As you already have git for Windows, you already have msysgit. You can focus on the [msysgit part of the gitflow install tutorial](https://github.com/nvie/gitflow/wiki/Windows#msysgit). – minopret Sep 02 '15 at 14:27

1Alternatively, consider using [SourceTree](https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/) which comes with built-in GitFlow support. – sschuberth Sep 02 '15 at 14:57

Source Tree looks really good. And the GitFlow in it works flawlessly. Thanks. – Saad Qureshi Sep 03 '15 at 06:11

I know, but it seems that I don't have the privilege yet. I need a minimum of 15 reputation for that. I joined 2 days ago BTW. – Saad Qureshi Sep 03 '15 at 08:36

Use the recently released Git for Windows 2.5.3 which now ships with git-flow (the AVH edition of it).

How do you know it's based on AVH edition? I couldn't find any info in the repo about this... – geekley Sep 25 '18 at 16:01

From the issue tracker, see e.g. https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/536. – sschuberth Sep 25 '18 at 16:22

yeah, I just figured `git flow version` shows it too: 1.11.0 (AVH Edition) – geekley Sep 25 '18 at 16:37

If you have Sourcetree OR if you install Sourcetree, you can find GitFlow options there. This is one of the easiest way to use GitFlow.
Once you active GitFlow from their (shown in the above screenshot), you can use all GitFlow commands from the terminal as well.
