Error while installing Gitosis on Windows 7:

"tty" option detected in CYGWIN environment variable. CYGWIN=tty is no longer supported. Please remove it from your CYGWIN environment variable and use a terminal emulator like mintty, xterm, or rxvt.

I tried setting CYGWIN environment variable by replacing tty by mintty, but did not work. Not even sure, where to change it actually. Thank you in advance.

I highly recommend not using Gitosis as development on it has been abandoned. The first option usually recommended is gitolite, but I'm not sure how much success you will encounter on Windows. Luckily, there is an extensive guide.

  • thanks, but i am at the middle of the Gitosis installation, if I go for Gitolite, I think some of the steps would create problem, isn't it? – MotsManish Mar 01 '12 at 09:40
  • There's a lot more documentation because Gitolite is in use and currently developed. If you do run into a problem, there's a greater chance that someone will be able to assist you. I would abandon gitosis. – Nic Mar 01 '12 at 21:25
  • Thanks, I will install Gitolite. – MotsManish Mar 02 '12 at 04:48
