This is a follow up to this 2018 SO question: Package management in git for windows?
The answer to above question suggests to install GIT SDK. That is a big installation.
Fast forward to mid 2020 I hope I can find a more efficient approach.
Can I install a full mingw64 in a separate folder, so I have packman
and update-core
, then config the git installation at C:\Program Files\Git\
to point to full installtion of mingw64 at c:\mingw64
?
Alternatively can I manually xcopy packman binaries to C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64
folder if that is an easier approach to add packman
and update-core
to the limited mingw64 that comes with Git for Windows?
