Solved git-lite vs git-tiny?

[Deleted member 66267]

I found git-tiny is smaller in size to download (3mb vs 5mb of git-lite) so I installed git-tiny. But what's the different between them?

git-tiny has very minimal options (only CURL enabled), git-lite has a few more options enabled and git is the "full" install with most of the features enabled.

You can see the flavors here: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/devel/git/Makefile?view=markup&pathrev=564784#l73

The "tiny" flavor excludes all options except CURL, which is enforced. "lite" only excludes some heavy options.

Could do git clone just fine. Don't know about other operations because not tested. I only need git clone, pull, commit and push.

Then git-tiny should do fine. The only reason it pulls in curl is so you can clone, pull, etc. from HTTP(S) repositories too.
