Hi all,

it is my pleasure to announce that Git for Windows 2.6.2 is available.
Please find it at https://git-for-windows.github.io/

Changes since Git for Windows v2.6.1 (October 5th 2015)

New Features

  • Comes with Git v2.6.2
  • Users who are part of a Windows domain now have sensible default
    values for user.name and user.email.

Bug Fixes

  • We no longer run out of page file space when git fetching large
    repositories.
  • The description of Windows' default console is accurate now (the
    console became more powerful in Windows 10).
  • Git GUI now respects the terminal emulation chosen at install time
    when running the Git Bash.

Ciao,
Johannes
