Hi,

I use PatchMyPC to keep all my applications up to date on Windows but there is one application that is never properly detected as up to date... and it is Git as you guessed.

According to Justin Chalfant, Director of Engineering of PatchMyPC, Git version "number" / identifier is not "standard". https://patchmypc.com/forum/index.php?topic=3032.msg8211#msg8211

PatchMyPC seems not to like that: Git version identifier = version number + platform specific identifier

command "git version" currently returns: git version 2.23.0.windows.1

git executables (like git-cmd.exe for instance) displays this "File version" on Windows: 2.23.0.1

What are your thoughts? And can you answer to Justin Chalfant on PatchMyPC forum?

Regards,
Audric GUERIN
