Git Version Confusion

Michael Cheel· Jan 22, 2025, 16:57 UTC · lore

Can anyone tell me why the git home page says the latest  version is 2.48.1 (released 2025-01-13) but then the download page (for windows) says 2.47.1(2) released 2025-01-14? It is a bit confusing to me.

The 2.48.1 is the official source release and the latest. Depending on the platform and distribution, some may lag behind releasing the latest and that is perfectly expected.

Looking at the output from

I suspect that Windows binary based on 2.48.1 has not been released yet, even though one based on 2.47.1 has.
