So... We've had this discussion before, what is the .1 in the path? And it does not appear in the version as well? Why not a .0?

i.e. "v2.30.0.windows.1" in https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/download/v2.30.0.windows.1/Git-2.30.0-64-bit.exe, and only "2.30.0" in the version?

Sometimes it does coincide, other times, not. Does not appear to be that consistent, but it does sometimes vary.

I require that disclosure for my downloader script to function properly.

Thank you...

Oh, so you REQUIRE it...

;-)

All right, then. https://gitforwindows.org/latest-version.txt and
https://gitforwindows.org/latest-tag.txt might help you.

Ciao,

Oh, so you REQUIRE it...

Yes, I do. My script stitches together paths that I feed to wget to download the bits automatically, and would be helpful comprehending the bits in that path more consistently with the actual pattern verbiage.
