Setting up MSYS2 with Git

• Download and install msys2 from http://www.msys2.org/
• After the installation is complete, open the MSys2 prompt
• Set the http_proxy and https_proxy variables if required using:

export http_proxy=http://your-proxy:port/
export https_proxy=$http_proxy

• Run

pacman -Syuu

and follow the instructions. Repeat this step until it says there are no packages to update.

• Within the msys2 prompt, run

pacman -S \
    autoconf autogen automake \
    bc bison \
    clang cmake ctags  \
    dash diffutils dos2unix doxygen \
    ed \
    gcc git git-flow global gnu-netcat \
    lzip liblzma-devel libffi-devel libxslt-devel \
    make man-db man-pages-posix mc mksh \
    ncurses-devel \
    openssl-devel \
    p7zip pcre-devel procps psmisc pwgen \
    rsync \
    tar texinfo tig tmux tree \
    unrar unzip \
    vim \
    w3m \
    zip zlib-devel zsh

NOTE: Symlink creation requires running msys2 as administrator. The variable MSYS should be set to winsymlinks

export MSYS=winsymlinks

• If you need an easy way to open Msys2 within your current directory in Windows explorer, download and run: msys2-here-install-reg so that you can right-click and choose "MSYS2 here" on a folder.
