Windows rsync msysgit

However, it's my belief based on the comment I referenced that msys based rsync's are broken in some scenarios. Unfortunately, I'm not a Windows guy, and I have no idea how your installer is created, so I cannot be of much help.

If I was more of a Windows guy we probably wouldn't be using Vagrant in the first place. Any plans on adding rsync to vagrant windows installer on vagrant 1. I currently bundled my my own rsync. Also it would be great to bundle openssh. I think bundling rsync and openssh for Windows is a good idea. This eliminates the extra step of installing Cygwin or something else with the right packages and therefore makes it easier for people to get started with the Vagrant VM.

Using a Vagrant VM should really be super simple. Just install Vagrant and execute "vagrant up". Nothing more.

I'm confused, can anyone summarize which version of rsync URL would be great works with Vagrant 1. If you're using msys or msysgit, which is what is included in the git installer then use the rsync from msys; if you're using cygwin then use the rsync from cygwin.

And going forward, I don't think Vagrant should expect you to run a specific shell. Or users need to do that manually? This will automatically add rsync to the path and you can use vagrant up with rsync. This helps our maintainers find and focus on the active issues.

I then started using it, seriously man it helped me a lot and is as effective as rsync. Totally worth it! Moved the. This has been bugging me for years!

Finally with your tutorial it works perfectly. Great work! A solution 3 years at service and still valid! Thanks you so much. Doh, seriously! I really should have though of this. I also needed to copy the msys-zstd Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. You can open multiple bash processes that can all see each other and share a filesystem. But if you close the last bash, you lose the whole WSL environment, which makes daemons a bit awkward. Note these make for awkward search terms on Google.

The granddaddy of Unix emulation for Windows. Weird path names and environment. But it works pretty well and has a significant set of tools. MobaXterm bundles Cygwin in with an X server and terminal emulator. The result is a lighter weight Unix environment with some compromises. So instead creating a symlink makes a copy of the file, which is pretty damn broken but you can live with it. EXE and will work fine in Windows, without bootstrapping a Unix environment.

Handy for ssh. Also some of the tools have idiosyncracies. This shows up as a recommended Unix option.
