mingw predates git on windows (and in general), but yeah, indeed.

interesting to scan the log on that: https://github.com/git-for-windows/build-extra/blob/main/Rel...

I remember my journey trying to disambiguate Git Bash, Git for Windows, MinGW and MSYS2. To this day, I'm still not sure I have the full story right.
just install msys2.

i cannot imagine windows without it. even wsl garbage pales in comparison
