This Wiki contains specific information for each context that you encounter when using Git Winch. This guide is best used from inside the Git Winch client application. But it can be used as a guide that you can browse independently too.

If this is the first time you are encountering Git Winch you should learn the concepts first. If you have more time, you should read the Philosophy and Background

We Spoke Today is bundled
Git Winch comes bundled with our excellent sister Kanban product: We Spoke Today This Kanban web-app also provides help from within the web-app. It has a separate help system. Just like Git Winch, that too provides help when you use the web-application by pressing F1 when the mouse cursor hovers around any UI element. However you can also read the entire guide for it independently too here: https://help.spoke.today

Firstly, you must first install Git Winch Client Application (See our main website: https://gitwinch.com ) and it should be working on your computer. Read the installation instructions here.

Once you start the Git Winch Client Application do this: Inside the application, Press F1 whenever you see some status message (at the bottom of the Git Winch application) and you would get transported to the correct page inside this guide. It will expand on that small status message and provide you a lot more details.

Troubleshooting the help
To reach the correct page inside this help system, first check the following inside the gitwinch.ini file. That file is in the same folder where you installed Git Winch Client application. (For all other troubleshooting, read this page))

The entry for HelpSite= in that .ini file should be as follows:

HelpSite=https://help.gitwinch.com

Also, the entry for ShowHints= in that .ini file should be:

ShowHints=1

The above changes can be done using any text editor, such as Windows Notepad.

The above process has to be done only once. Once that is done, every time Git Winch is used, this website will be used to give you detailed help.
