Package Manager (old)

Git does not ship pacman with Git for Windows. To get a fully fledged package manager maintained environment, install the Git for Windows SDK. Reference.

Uses https://www.msys2.org/

Make pacman work for existing git

Requires running git bash as admin.

Locations

  • C:\Program Files\Git
  • I:\git-sdk-64
  1. Install Git for Windows SDK somewhere else. You'll need more than 3 GB of free space for that.
  2. Copy ${git-sdk}/usr/bin/pacman.exe to ${git}/usr/bin
  3. Copy ${git-sdk}/etc/pacman.conf and ${git-sdk}/etc/pacman.d to ${git}/etc
  4. Copy ${git-sdk}/var to ${git}/

You can now open your Git Bash and run pacman -S python, pacman -S tmux to install packages on your existing Git for Windows setup.
