Changes since Git for Windows v2.48.1 (February 13th 2025)

Due to persistent maintenance challenges and the community's limited engagement and usage, git svn support in Git for Windows will be phased out over the next few months.

Git for Windows v2.48.1 was the last version to ship with the i686 ("32-bit") variant of the installer, portable Git and archive. Only 32-bit MinGit will be built for future versions, until April 2029.

New Features

  • Comes with Git v2.49.0.
  • Comes with OpenSSH v9.9.P2.
  • Comes with PCRE2 v10.45.
  • The previously-experimental --full-name-hash option has been accepted into upstream Git as --name-hash-version=2 and is no longer experimental.
  • The git backfill command has been accepted into upstream Git; Its --batch-size=<n> option has been renamed to --min-batch-size=<n>, though.

What are the symptoms? What different ways have you tried? Is this a GitHub issue, i.e. do you have problems downloading other projects' files, too?

solved it by changing my ip address

Oh, maybe you were unfortunate enough to run into issues where your IP was the same as that of a scraper who was throttled/blocked?

I was able to download it . Why?

@Worldviral Did you mean to say that you were not able to download it? If so, what were the symptoms? Don't leave us guessing here, unless you want to make this a fun guessing game where the most ridiculous guess gets a prize, in which case I would guess that your download link is controlled by an alien from a parallel universe who -- for reasons of their own! -- doesn't want you to use Git.

Is there another way to download it, pls help

It's my IP that is causing the issue my network was using unstable IP and I have changed to another network provider

Folks, anyone managed to build Git for Windows 7 x64 (unofficially)? Please, share, it's important.
Meanwhile, using older msys-2.0.dll makes Git 2.49 and other utils work, except for ssh*.exe
The last ssh*.exe (OpenSSH 9.9p1) that works here is in Git 2.48.1 package.

Either simply download the newest installer (which will detect that it's performing an upgrade), or run git update-git-for-windows.

Are you using an older Chrome version? I seem to recall that we saw problems like that which were resolved by upgrading Chrome.

Maybe it's your network IP problem, if your network provider are using unstable IP, is not going to download

You can try it to check your IP problem,and then downloaded it
