![]() ![]() I occasionally use cygwin when I need a bash tool that doesn't come with the GfW environment, which doesn't happen too much since it does have most of what I need for general use and all of what you need to use Git.Įdit: I use ConEmu, which I recommend but which can be kind of hard to configure to your liking. I would describe GfW as much more robust than git under cygwin due to its more narrow scope and excellent maintenance. ![]() In fact, its tools are built on msys2, which is basically a fork/variant of cygwin with a different (not as broad) focus. It's a well-maintained fork and a lot of its windows-compatibility patches are accepted into upstream, which keeps the gap between upstream and GfW as small as possible. The latest version of git under cygwin looks like 2.8.2-1 while GfW is on 2.10.2. GfW is forked from/synced with upstream and has exactly the same interface (command line as well as the git GUI).
