GIT Sofware Link - https://git-scm.com/download/win
No, like identifying a command line that provides all the parameters that Git requires, without prompting the user for any further input. Look for “silent” or “unattended” install.
That’s using msysgit. Not sure though which flavor of git you are trying to install. Where did you obtain the git msi? You should check there for the correct command lines and post a link here. We can help translate it to BigFix syntax, but you need to find the correct command lines.
Ummm ok.
That feels several flavors of wrong though.
You shouldn’t need to repackage as MSI, the .EXE supports a silent install natively. You wouldn’t want to have to repackage for each version change.
You shouldn’t host the file on a UNC path, you can’t take advantage of relay caching that way and you can’t install to non-domain-joined clients.
If you are going to host the installer internally, put it on the BES Server’s Uploads folder, or another website where you can reach it. But you don’t need to host the git client at all, it’s freely available from the original download site.
You don’t need to create a batch file just to execute a simple command line.
