How to install hubflow in Windows?

Clone latest hubflow

git clone https://github.com/datasift/gitflow hubflow
cd hubflow

Copy all git-hf prefixed files to bin directory in git installation directory

cp git-hf* <git-install-dir>/bin/
cp hubflow-common <git-install-dir>/bin/

Initialize and Update latest shflags submodule

git submodule update --remote --init --checkout
cp shFlags/src/shflags <git-install-dir>/bin/hubflow-shFlags

Test hubflow

git hf help

NOTE:

• Neither Hubflow or Gitflow workflow support fork and PR workflow for Open Source projects. You'll have to manually do that. Just follow the nvie's gitflow workflow as a bird's eye view for reference.

Hubflow is currently written as UNIX shell scripts. If you install Cygwin, that might allow Hubflow to work on Windows for now.

@stuartherbert This issue is simply like an instructional wiki about installing hubflow in Windows.
I use git bash on Windows and this technique just works seamlessly without cygwin. 😄

@stuartherbert Can I use both git-extras and hubflow?

[stuartherbert]

I’m not familiar with git-extras. Hubflow doesn’t do anything weird, so it should play nicely with other extensions. If you run into any issues, please open a new issue here on GitHub and I’ll take a look.

Just as a heads-up, HubFlow does seem to work fine on Windows after following the install steps in the OP. I'm not exactly a power user (just inherited a project that already used it), but I haven't run into any OS-specific shenanigans.

Just did an update earlier and wish I'd have seen DarinMacRae's post though; I haven't tried that install script yet but perhaps that will do the trick.
