What version of Git do I have?












-1















I'm new to Git and I'm getting some errors. Research tells me I ought to update to the latest version. In the Windows installer, it says I have version 2.20.1 installed. But if I run 



Git version


in the command line, it tells me I have version 1.9.4.msysgit.2. Does anyone know what this means? I've uninstalled and reinstalled twice and the inconsistency persists, and also my errors (another issue).

  • With git --version you can easily check the version. Type git in bash terminal for recheck does it really removed or not.

  • Maybe you have multiple versions of git installed? Did you search for git.exe on your PC?

  • It's possible you have more than one version installed. Check your PATH to see if there is another copy floating around.

  • It appears that git version is the same as git --version. Same result. @pjs when you say check path is this something I do on the command line?

  • There are multiple ways to check. Easiest is to type path at the command line, but you can also check the environment variable settings. You'll see a list of directories that Windows uses to find executables. The order of the directories is the order in which they get searched. You can also do an explicit search for git.exe, as suggested by @WernerHenze, to see if there are multiple copies.

In your CMD session, type



where git


That will give you the PATH where git.exe is found.



Then type:



set PATH


That will show you the PATH currently used: your old git path is probably set before the new one you are trying to install.

Edit your environment variable (as seen here) to modify your PATH and set the proper folder first (the one with the new Git).

Can a sorcerer learn a 5th-level spell early by creating spell slots using the Font of Magic feature?

Image
28 6 $begingroup$ Per the Font of Magic feature, sorcerer can use Flexible Casting to create 5th-level spell slots at level 7, even though they are not typically available until level 9. You can transform unexpended sorcery points into one spell slot as a bonus action on your turn. The Creating Spell Slots table shows the cost of creating a spell slot of [5th level is 7] If such a sorcerer levels up while still having this 5th-level spell slot, can they choose a 5th-level spell as the spell they gain upon levelling up? The Spellcasting feature states: Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the sorcerer spells you know and replace it with another spell from the sorcerer spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Does disintegrating a polymorphed enemy still kill it after the 2018 errata?

Image
up vote 13 down vote favorite 1 After the 2018 errata, the disintegrate spell description now reads: A creature targeted by this spell must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 10d6 + 40 force damage. The target is disintegrated if this damage leaves it with 0 hit points. If you were to polymorph an enemy into a rat and then disintegrate it, would the enemy be disintegrated or would it just return to its original form? I know that for Druids, it’s not an instant kill anymore, but is this the case for polymorph as well? dnd-5e spells polymorph errata share | improve this question edited 18 hours ago

A Topological Invariant for $pi_3(U(n))$

Image
3 3 $begingroup$ Recently, I saw a construction of topological invariant for $pi_3(U(n))$ with $ngeq 2$ : $$ N=frac{1}{24pi^2}int_{S^3} d^3x epsilon^{ijk} Tr[(U^{-1}partial_{x_i}U)(U^{-1}partial_{x_j}U)(U^{-1}partial_{x_k}U)] , $$ where $Uin U(n)$ depends on $boldsymbol{x}=(x_1,x_2,x_3)in S^3$ , $epsilon^{ijk}$ is the Levi-Civita symbol, $i,j,k=1,2,3$ , and the duplicated indexes are summed over. It is claimed that $N$ is an integer, but why? Update 02/02/2019 I think I got an argument for $n=2$ . In this case, $U=e^{i varphi} q$ with $qin SU(2)$ . Due to the trace and the Levi-Civita symbol in $N$ , $varphi$ does not contribute to $N$ . As $Tr[q^{dagger}partial_i q]=0$ and $(q^{dagger}partial_i q)^{dagger}=-q^{dagger}partial_i q$ , $q^{dagger}partial_i q$ in geneeral has the form $q^{dagger}partia
