Hi,
How can I add yum command to MinGW from msysGit ?
Currently I don't have that command and I am using Windows.

AFAIK, yum is a command to manage software distributed in RPM packages
in certain so-called "RedHat-based" operating systems.
Is that what you want?

Actually I want to have some kind of packaging command. like
apt-get or yum or any other that will allow me installing packages from the net.

Please do not top-post on this mailing list. I've fixed the quoting
for you this time.

Why are you asking *us* about that? We package a single application,
we do not supply a distribution channel for all other software...

But, there is something called mingw-get, that aims to be similar-ish
to yum and apt-get. IIRC someone was working on Git for Windows
packages for that... Search the mailing list, and you might find it.

I guess that someone would be me, see the mingwGitDevEnv project [1].
