Two options exist for Windows:

[msysGit](http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/) and running Git under
93-
[Cygwin](http://www.cygwin.com/).

[msysGit](http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/) is a port of Git that runs
98-
natively on Windows via the MinGW library. Because Git was not
99-
originally designed to run on Windows, and since this is a port, some
100-
bugs exist, though are rarely encountered in everyday use of Git. See
101-
their website for download and installation instructions. Additionally,
102-
you can watch [Scott Chacon's screencast on installing msysGit on
103-
Windows](http://gitcasts.com/posts/git-on-windows), and see [this GitHub
104-
guide](http://github.com/guides/using-git-and-github-for-the-windows-for-newbies).

#### Cygwin
107-
108-
[Cygwin](http://www.cygwin.com/) provides a Linux-like environment for
109-
Windows. It includes access to repositories of many software packages
110-
available commonly in Linux distributions, including Git. You can find
111-
the `git` package under the "devel" category.
