Git pull cygwin not a git-command

Hi I just installed git cygwin on my windows pc at work, but somehow git pull 开发者_如何学JAVAdoesn't seems to be working.

the out put is :

git: 'pull' is not a git-command. See 'git --help'.

Did you mean this? pull

Cant seem to figure this one out, this works fine using the msysgit version.

Could you check your shell (like this user did)?

echo $SHELL
/usr/local/anothershell

it should be:

echo $SHELL
/bin/bash

Check out also your $PATH

$ type -a git 
> git is /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/git

 export PATH=/bin:$PATH 
$ type -a git 
> git is /bin/git 
> git is /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/git

Note: if you have the same kind of error for git-svn (git: 'svn' is not a git-command. See 'git --help'.), make sure that (see this blog post):

• svn is installed
• Perl is installed
• you did download Error.pm from CPAN

The issue was fixed with a clean reinstall of cygwin. But dont know ahat caused it.

just stumbled over the same problem and it seems a recent antivirus update is to blame.

it first blocks perl.exe and sh.exe and then finally deletes them from the harddrive.

the messages are as follows (i only have a german version):

I figured this one out - apparently the newer version of git is different somehow in Cygwin. In Windows XP I had to add 'C:\cygwin\lib\git-core' to the PATH and that fixed it right up. Just make sure you close all bash windows before that and then restart them.

I diden't really fix the problem with git on cygwin. My approach was to switch to msysgit .
