Hi,
I would like to use Git for Windows and install additional packages with pacman. What would be the best approach?
(1) Install Git for Windows and somehow add pacman?
(2) Install msys2 and then install Git via pacman?
(3) Install the Git for Windows SDK
Right now I try (3) but this setup takes quite some time as everything is compiled (dumb question: does pacman distribute source or binaries?).
Thanks,
Lars

Hi Lars,
The easiest is (3) for now.
Eventually, we will be able to support (2), but there is still a ton of
work until our patches to the MSYS2 runtime have made it upstream (they
need to be adjusted to compromise between Git for Windows' and MSYS2's
expectations).
(1) was never in the planning.
Ciao,
Johannes
