how does this compare to the bash emulation that comes with git for windows? https://git-for-windows.github.io/ https://git-for-windows.github.io/

  https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/Package-management https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/Package-manageme... Git for Windows uses this project.

    ... but doesn't include pacman

      We need to merge our work carefully. Git-4-Windows with pacman and makepkg wouldn't work too well at present, as MSYS2 with a native git wouldn't work too well at present.

        Maybe you should mention this on that page then instead of going on and on about pacman when you don't even include it lol

          I work on MSYS2, not Git-4-Windows. We come with Pacman included.

            The effort for MSYS2 and Git-4-Windows should be merged as one project.

  But isn't that just Bash and a few other tools here and there ? This is a more complete suit of tools that intends to be sufficient for building any Gnu/Linux/Posix software on a Windows platform. A much more ambitious goal.

    Git-4-Windows is a great project, just with a different focus. They contribute a lot to our packages (and Cygwin) too since git (and the shell) drags in quite a lot of stuff.
