 Hi,

I have question regarding Git for Windows Portable in version 2.8.1 32bit that can be downloaded from https://git-scm.com/download/win . What is the minimum version of .NET and OS that is necessary to successfully run it? 

Thank you
for your answer.

Best Regards
Lukáš Rumpala

.NET is not needed to run Git for Windows. If you want to run the Git
Credential Manager, you will need .NET v4.5.1 or later (which you should
have anyway, if you followed all recommended updates).

Git for Windows just *barely* still supports Windows XP. If you want to
ensure that it keeps supporting Windows XP, you are welcome to participate
actively in the project.

Ciao,
Johannes
