Install additional commands on Git Bash (Windows 10)

Install additional commands on Git Bash (Windows 10)

This assumes that your Git Bash is using MSYS instead of Cygwin (look at the output of uname -o if you are in doubt). If you are using Cygwin, please refer to standard Cygwin procedures.

  1. Open http://repo.msys2.org/msys/x86_64/ (or one of the mirrors at https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages/blob/master/pacman-mirrors/mirrorlist.msys) and download the commands that you want to add.
  2. Extract the content of the package that you want to install to a working directory. For example,
    mkdir tmp
    cd tmp
 tar xf ../libzstd-1.4.5-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
