The recent challenges that Peter has faced with git and gerrit has got me to thinking about how we can go about providing better guidance for Windows users.
As has been noted in the other discussion, the instructions for anything related to contributing is very Linux oriented (for many reasons). The CygWin option is also a bit of a vertical leap. There are however many Windows oriented solutions for git and even gerrit that could maybe simplify things. For example, has anyone here tested or tried using TortoiseGit? (still CLI involved, but within an easier to use container) I'm currently in a situation where I only have Linux on all computers (I do have one computer with a Windows VM that I use for testing, but it's unavailable right now), so I cannot poke around for a reasonable solution to the challenges Peter is struggling with. In the long term, the WIkiHelp solution will vastly simplify this contribution hurdle, but it's not yet ready. In the mean time... how can we better help Peter and others who are nervous or unfamiliar with command line? Maybe this... https://git-extensions-documentation.readthedocs.org/en/latest/getting_started.html (suggested by Beluga in IRC). Other options? Ideas?
