You are right, Git for Windows is by random people. I don't know why I was so sure that it was a Microsoft product. > Possible. But then when they are content with both the kernel and the userspace, why should they switch at all? A lot of developer tools only work on Linux. That's why they provide WSL2, a Linux kernel.

> I don't know why I was so sure that it was a Microsoft product. It is shipped with VS. If this is your only interaction with it then that is an easy assumption to make.

> You are right, Git for Windows is by random people. In addition Git for Windows and MSYS2 are different projects, but Git for Windows ships a strapped down version of MSYS2, which is a bit annoying once you want to use anything else, as now you have two (incompatible) versions of MSYS2 around. I would like if they would backport Git for Windows into MSYS2 proper.
