git(-with-openssh): Improve registry srcipt & relevant logic, update checkver & autoupdate #7459

SorYoshino · 2025-12-26T12:34:44Z

Summary

Improves the git and git-with-openssh manifests by refining metadata, restructuring post-install behavior, modernizing registry script handling, and aligning both packages with Scoop manifest conventions.

Related issues or pull requests

Relates to Standardise .reg instructions in manifest notes #7061
Relates to [git-with-openssh] Should expose bundled gpg in $PATH #3685
Relates to git@2.47.0: Fix instructions for context menu and file association setup - add 'reg import' #6259

Changes

Refine description to a formal and complete wording
Update license to GPL-2.0-or-later and added license URL
Refactor notes section using formal language and clear execution instructions
Reorganize bin entries
Add env_add_path for automatic PATH integration
Standardize shortcuts names (grouped under “Git*”)
Simplify and generalize post_install scripts
Add uninstall script blocks to restore registry changes on removal
update checkver & autoupdate
Normalize registry file generation encoding and escaping rules

Notes

The official installer directly appends the cmd directory to the Path environment variable, and the useful tools contained in this directory extend well beyond git, gitk, and scalar. Rather than enumerating these utilities individually in the bin field, it is more appropriate to add the entire cmd directory to Path.
Tools related to gpg are not in the same category as ssh; however, they are critical during development and should be included in the bin field for both git and git-with-openssh.
The contents of install-context.reg and install-associations.reg have been realigned with the behavior of the official installer, and the associated logic has been refined accordingly.

Testing

The test results are as follows:

Thank you for reviewing this pull request.

All comments have been addressed. I have also rechecked all files containing changes and should be clear of any further issues.

Hello, @Lutra-Fs .

Sorry for the late reply.

Since this PR has already been merged, should git@2.47.0: Fix instructions for context menu and file association setup - add 'reg import' #6259 be closed? It only added reg import in the notes field.
Also, when you have time, could you please review mingit: Add arm64 version, update homepage & checkver #7460? In addition to adding the arm64 architecture, the other changes are similar to those in this PR, so it shouldn’t take too much of your time.

Lutra-Fs · 2026-01-05T12:48:54Z

Will get these done tomorrow. Currently feeling a bit burned out, there’s just too much going on in my life right now ;;

SorYoshino · 2026-01-05T13:13:19Z

You only need to take a look when you have time. Please make sure to get enough rest — your health is the most important thing. Thank you again for taking the time to review my PR. ❤️
