Git for Windows XP

The last versions working with Windows XP (32 bit):

• TortoiseGit 1.8.16.0 (https://download.tortoisegit.org/tgit/1.8.16.0/)

This is the last version which is compatible with Windows XP and Server 2003.

• Git 2.10.0 (https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.10.0.windows.1)

As of Git for Windows v2.10.1, Windows Vista or later are required. The last version of Git for Windows to support Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 is v2.10.0. (more)

This is an old article but hopefully answers a way to install on Windows XP

The only reason to install TortoiseGit is if you are used to TortoiseCVS/TortoiseSVN and want to keep the same look and feel.

I use the following version for installation on Windows XP:

• TortoiseGit 1.7.2.0 32-bit
• Git 1.7.4
