Git 2.45
Git for AmigaOS 4 - limitations and tips (from the documentation):
Known issues:
- The client forces thin pack mode, which may cause warnings on some servers.
- Performance is lower than on modern platforms, and operations may run more slowly.
- UTF-8 filenames (outside ASCII) may cause issues due to encoding differences.
- The filesystem is case-insensitive, so repositories with similar names may cause conflicts.
- Occasional errors or freezes may occur; it's worth reporting them on Amigans.net or github.com.
Useful Git environment variables - allow enabling logging and diagnostics, controlling SSL, setting an editor or pager, and working without interactive prompts. Helpful for troubleshooting.
GIT_TRACE=1- general operation tracing (debug)GIT_TRACE_PACKET=1- packet communication tracingGIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=1- performance tracingGIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1- disables SSL verification (use only when necessary)GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0- disables interactive promptsGIT_EDITOR=path_to_editor- sets the editor for commits/rebaseGIT_PAGER=path_to_pager- sets the pager (orcatto disable paging)
Locale settings: AmigaOS does not set a default language variable. To make Git display messages in your chosen language, set:
LANG=locale, e.g.LANG=en_US- or
LC_ALL=locale, e.g.LC_ALL=en_US - or
LC_MESSAGES=locale, e.g.LC_MESSAGES=en_US
Otherwise, Git may default to English.
