If you'd like a smaller one, the Git for Windows Portable option is also available, which can be run off a thumbdrive if you like. Because Windows lacks a standard POSIX shell and POSIX utilities which Git requires to run, you need more than a single binary. Git invokes the shell when you spawn an editor and run certain types of aliases, among other activities, so a POSIX shell is absolutely required for Git to have normal functionality. Even on Unix, a reasonably functional Git installation requires additional binaries, such as the HTTP helper, so having only the single binary would result in substantially reduced functionality, and I'm not aware of anyone shipping such a configuration. --=20 brian m. carlson (he/him or they/them) Houston, Texas, US --t41oB6CHcdqKzbNH Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.3.1 (GNU/Linux) iHUEABYKAB0WIQQILOaKnbxl+4PRw5F8DEliiIeigQUCYKcI7wAKCRB8DEliiIei gaCjAP9pTnbW5e01AhiWKy/i0QqlU0mL+p7JxG6YbLLNq6wcHgEAziL5VjWgURTF Egd8C5ovycjCGFiQSSr5aaqyL59RnwY= =0sgL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --t41oB6CHcdqKzbNH--
