Getting Started with Git Bash

Cannot echo this at all. I use native binaries like pandoc or chocolatey from cygwin all the time. The only issue may be with stdout and file paths.

There is still msys, if you want more windows. I think git bash mostly is only a packaged msys distribution, isn't it??

MSYS2 is the better option, and is not "MSYS version 2", it's an independent rewrite.

It's in parts based on MSYS2, but doesn't give you a "full install" (or whatever is the best way to phrase it).

Sorry for being sloppy I meant msys2.
