Features are the same of qgit-1.5.4 release but has been ported under Qt4.2 libraries from Qt3, this means that could be compiled and run as a Windows native application. Qt4.2 is available as GPL for non commercial purposes also for Windows platform. So what you need is: 1) Qt4.2 already packaged with MinGW for windows (http://www.trolltech.com/developer/downloads/qt/windows) 2) Cygwin with git files 3) qgit sources from the above public repository 4) Compile using qmake that will build proper Makefile for you - qmake qgit.pro - make - (make install is supported only under Linux at the moment) 5) Open a terminal with cmd.exe, add Qt and MinGW bin dirs to PATH (already added if you run the ready to use Qt command prompt menu that comes with Qt installation), add cygwin bin directory to PATH, something like: set PATH=%PATH%;C:\cygwin\bin\directory 6) Start qgit.exe 7) Have fun NOTE NOTE: DO NOT RUN from a cygwin terminal, as I said qgit it's a *native* Windows application when compiled with Qt4.2 so you don't need that. Well, I have tried to run from a cygwin terminal and it works almost the same (of course you need to add Qt and MinGW bin dirs to path as always) but it's much slower and has some little issues with the different paths conventions. NOTE: This is 'alpha' quality software, not all features are already working so be prepared to few surprises. Marco P.S: Of course the same sources work (better) also under Linux.
