winget.run isn't up to date, I do see 2.35.2 by running the winget CLI (note that `winget upgrade git` will run the uninstaller first). $ winget show git.git Found Git [Git.Git] Version: 2.35.2 Publisher: The Git Development Community Publisher Url: https://gitforwindows.org Publisher Support Url: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues Author: Johannes Schindelin Moniker: git Description: Git for Windows focuses on offering a lightweight, native set of tools that bring the full feature set of the Git SCM to Windows while providing appropriate user interfaces for experienced Git users and novices alike.

  Yes, you're quite right. For future reference the GitHub manifest page seems to be the better choice: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifests/g/Git/Git https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifes...

    Yes, that's always good to check but given the size of the repository (the number of directory and files is just massive!) it can be really annoying to navigate. Often faster to just run the winget CLI somewhere. winget.run should add a link to the manifest directory, that would be useful.
