I have a Windows 7 machine, and I want to install git on it in order to do Rails development.
I’ve heard that it’s better to work with git on Linux, so I installed Ubuntu. The problem with Ubuntu is that I have to restart the computer each time I want to switch between Windows and Linux.
Is that possible to run Ubuntu as Windows application (like any other program) ?
Could you recomend any other options ?
I want it to be installed on the hard drive rather than USB stick or something else.
Yes its possible. You can install Ubuntu on a virtual machine such as Vmware Workstation or Paralels Desktop or VirtualBox(free). The you can use it almost like an application. Or use msygit
