For some reason git for windows is a cygwin build.
- 1718627440 1y agoBecause git expects a POSIX API and POSIX tools and also POSIX behaviour like symlinks and line-endings to do its job.
- lazka 1y agoIt's a native build. Only various tools it is shipped with are cygwin builds, like bash etc.
- GoblinSlayer 1y agoOh, indeed, but git often calls them.
