Not a problem, but what you describe is not using git but rather a shell called bash. Bash is like cmd.exe or powershell.exe, it is not GIT. See http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html

Not a git command, that is a curl command. See https://curl.haxx.se/

You could search for "convert json to xml in LANGUAGE" where language is one you are familiar with. E.g. http://google.com/search?q=convert+json+to+xml+Java

Again you are using Bash that came with a windows build of Git, just like when the Visual Studio shell gets installed. A place like https://stackoverflow.com/ may be a better resource than this mailing list about GIT.
