I am new to Git.\n\nNot a problem, but what you describe is not using git but rather a shell called bash. Bash is like cmd.exe or powershell.exe, it is not GIT. See http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html \n\n> The reason for my question is that I am using Git or Bash.exe (cURl)\n> to call a REST web service (open for test) and retrieving Json\n> from the web service and storing it into file.\n> This works fine from the Git Bash command line . My Git Command:\n\nNot a git command, that is a curl command. See https://curl.haxx.se/\n\n> $ curl https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts -o c:\\temper.txt\n> \n> I will look into the smudge filter.\n> \n\nYou could search for \"convert json to xml in LANGUAGE\" where language is one you are familiar with. E.g. http://google.com/search?q=convert+json+to+xml+Java\n\n> One more question is there a possibility to call Git Bash with a\n> parameter like example\n> C:\\Git\\Git\\git-bash.exe curl\n> https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts -o c:\\temper.txt\n> \n> The reason I am asking this is that I am using NAV 2009 Classic Client\n> and want to lunch the Git Bash with\n> the command $ curl \n> https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts -o c:\\temper.txt\n\nAgain you are using Bash that came with a windows build of Git, just like when the Visual Studio shell gets installed. A place like https://stackoverflow.com/ may be a better resource than this mailing list about GIT.\n\nv/r,\n\nJason Pyeron\n\nPS: Please do not top post.
