(1) Use Git from Git Bash only
This is the safest option as your PATH will not be modified at all. You can only use the Git command line tool with Git Bash.
(2) Use Git from the Windows Command Prompt
This option is considered safe because it only adds some minimal Git packages to PATH to avoid confusing the environment with optional Unix tools. You will be able to use Git from Git Bash and Windows Command Prompt.
(3) Use Git and optional Unix tools from the Windows Command Prompt

server certificate will be verified using the Windows certificate store. This option also allows you to use your company's internal root CA certificate, e.g. via Active Directory Domain Services
10. Configure line ending interpreter
(1) Checkout Windows-style, commit Unix-style line endings
When checking out a text file, Git will convert LF to CRLF. When submitting text files, CRLF will be converted to LF. For cross-platform projects, this is the recommended setting on Windows ("core.autocrlf" is set to "true")
(2) Checkout as-is, commit Unix-style line endings
When checking out text files, Git will not perform any convert. CRLF will be converted to LF when submitting text files. For cross-platform projects, this is the recommended setting on Unix (“core.autocrlf” is set to “input”)
(3) Checkout as-is, commit as-is
When checking out or committing text files, Git will not perform any convert. This option is deprecated for cross-platform projects ("core.autocrlf" is set to "false")
11. Configure the terminal emulator
(1) Use MinTTY (the default terminal of MSYS2)
Git Bash will use MinTTY as a terminal emulator with resizable windows, non-rectangular selections, and Unicode fonts. Windows console programs (such as interactive Python) must be started via 'winpty' to run in MinTTY.
(2) Use Windows' default console window
Git will use Windows' default console window ("cmd.exe"), which can be used with Win32 console programs (such as interactive Python or node.js), but the default The scrollback is very limited, needs to be configured to use a unicode font to display non-ASCII characters correctly, and prior to Windows 10, its window cannot be freely resized and only allows rectangular text selection.

Rebase: Rebase
