Last Github for Windows for XP
<p>Because of the nature of MS ClickOnce delivery, Github.application always refer to latest version. Through trials I found 1.0.57 being the last version for XP (I already check wayback machine that starting with github 2.x require .net 4.5).</p>

<p>the steps are:</p>

<ul>
<li><p>Download the manifest from <a href="http://github-windows.s3.amazonaws.com/Application%20Files/GitHub_1_0_57_0/GitHub.exe.manifest" rel="nofollow">http://github-windows.s3.amazonaws.com/Application%20Files/GitHub_1_0_57_0/GitHub.exe.manifest</a></p></li>
<li><p>From reading the manifest, batch download all dependencies by appending ".deploy" to file url e.g. <a href="http://github-windows.s3.amazonaws.com/Application%20Files/GitHub_1_0_57_0/GitHub.exe.deploy" rel="nofollow">http://github-windows.s3.amazonaws.com/Application%20Files/GitHub_1_0_57_0/GitHub.exe.deploy</a></p></li>
<li><p>Once all files downloaded, remove ".deploy" extension</p></li>
</ul>

<p>I ran github.exe and login to my account, once logged-in after a moment (I don't do anything yet) it crashed. I don't know if it become incompatible or I missed some steps.</p>

<p>note:
I need it because I need to maintain/update/test legacy software on XP machine but I want to avoid the complex msysgit client.</p>
