### Windows
First, please install `Git for Windows 2.x` from 'https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases'.
Second, clone the `git-extras` repo into any folder you like.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/tj/git-extras.git
# checkout the latest tag (optional)
git checkout $(git describe --tags $(git rev-list --tags --max-count=1))
```
After that, execute the `install.cmd` in the command prompt, with the path your
`Git for Windows 2.x` is installed. If you installed git as admin, you need to
run this promt as admin, too. Per default, it finds a `Git for Windows 2.x` in
`%ProgramFiles%\Git`, which is the default install location. The fallback is
`C:\SCM\PortableGit`. If you didn't install git into one of these dirs, you have
to supply the `mingw64` path for the install location, e.g. if git is installed
in `c:\git\`:
```batch
install.cmd "C:\git\mingw64"
```
Last, to use `git-line-summary`, `git-summary` and `git-ignore-io`, you need to copy
`column.exe` from a [msys2][1] installation from `folder-your-msys2-installed/usr/bin`
to `folder-your-git-installed/usr/bin` .
## Building from source
Obtain the git-extras source by cloning [its GitHub repo](https://github.com/tj/git-extras.git) or downloading a tarball of a [release](https://github.com/tj/git-extras/releases). Then install it by doing `make install` from the source tree.

If you installed git-extras from source, you can run `git-extras update` to update it to the latest release. Be aware that this may lose any configuration options you specified during the original installation.
## Windows (use it at your own risk)
First, please install `Git for Windows 2.x` from 'https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases'
and the basic [msys2][1].
Second, clone the `git-extras` repo into any folder you like.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/tj/git-extras.git
# checkout the latest tag (optional)
git checkout $(git describe --tags $(git rev-list --tags --max-count=1))
```
After that, execute the `install.cmd` in the command prompt, with the path your `Git for Windows 2.x` is installed.
For example, I install it in the folder called `C:\SCM\PortableGit` and
the `PREFIX` should be `C:\SCM\PortableGit\mingw64` (for 64-bit release)
or `C:\SCM\PortableGit\mingw32` (for 32-bit release). So I will execute the `install.cmd` like this:
```batch
install.cmd "C:\SCM\PortableGit\mingw64"
```
Last, please copy `colrm.exe` and `column.exe` from `folder-your-msys2-installed/usr/bin` to
`folder-your-git-installed/usr/bin`.
Enjoy `git-extras`!
