- The MSYS environment. See http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS if you
are interested in using MSYS. People report to me that they have
used MSYS successfully. I suppose that the advantages of the MSYS
environment is that it is closer to a native Windows environment and
uses only a minimal number of add-on POSIX-land tools.
- The MSYS environment. MSYS derives from an older version of Cygwin
adapted to work more naturally in the Windows environment. See

Using MSYS
----------
MSYS is an environment the derives from Cygwin. Thus, most things said
about Cygwin apply equally to MSYS. This section will, then, focus on
the differences when using MSYS, specifically MSYS2.
Here is it assumed that you have already downloaded and installed MSYS2
from https://www.msys2.org using the windows installer available at that
location. It is also assumed that you have brought in the necessary
tools using the 'pacman' package management tool Tools needed include:
pacman -S git
And possibly others depending upon your usage.
