git git-flow

I just tried to install git-flow, however, it does not seem to be integrated properly with git, what can I do to integrate gitflow with git? is there a way I can do this manually?

Thank you, Jeffrey

Remove git-flow and install it manually.

On Linux:

sudo apt-get remove git-flow && wget --no-check-certificate -q -O - https://raw.github.com/nvie/gitflow/develop/contrib/gitflow-installer.sh | sudo bash

On Windows

If you work with cygwin make sure util-linux and wget are installed. Then run this with cygwin: 

wget -q -O - --no-check-certificate github.com/nvie/gitflow/raw/develop/contrib/gitflow-installer.sh | bash

For further information check the project page on github
