    It's literally right there in the error message – Idos Dec 15 '15 at 20:46
  • I am totally new to Git where exactly do I have to create this tmp directory? I read some other comments that even after creating this directory the issue wasn't resolved. – For Testing Dec 15 '15 at 20:47
  • If you haven't even tried it yet why do you ask? "/tmp" is a full path – Idos Dec 15 '15 at 20:48

    `mkdir /tmp` from within the `git-bash` shell environment might be what you need. – mah Dec 15 '15 at 20:54
  • tmp directory is already there in c:\users\abc\AppData\Local\Programs\Git\. Where do I have to create it? – For Testing Dec 15 '15 at 21:49

Simply uncompress the archive PortableGit-2.6.4-64-bit.7z.exe anywhere you want.

Then open C:\path\to\PortableGit-2.6.4-64-bit\git-bash.exe: you won't see that error message.

  • Thank you VonC. This has stopped giving me that error. I am very much thankful to you. I don't understand what was the issue. – For Testing Dec 16 '15 at 15:47
  • @ForTesting what version of git were you using before? And where you trying to use it in a cygwin environment (as in http://stackoverflow.com/a/34276621/6309)? – VonC Dec 16 '15 at 15:48
  • I was using Git-2.6.3-64-bit. I had some issues using EGit to merge my code so I started using Git bash. Updated the merge tool to use as perforce merge in .gitconfig. – For Testing Dec 16 '15 at 16:28
