I installed portableGit, added pacman and then used pacman to install rsync. By adding pacman, I could install more than just rsync.

I think the same thing could be done with Git for Windows. I just prefer to use software that doesn't need admin permissions if that flavor is available.

Thanks for clarifying. Impressive that you have the patience for this effort 🤔

Uninstalled Git for Windows?
