THEGREATCHRISPY'S GUIDE TO INSTALLING CYGWIN ON WINDOWS 10

Here I am documenting my process for downloading, installing, and tweaking the settings for Cygwin, a Linux-based environment that runs on Windows. This is largely to help myself, so that I won't have to hunt down and rediscover processes and settings that I have already figured out in the past. However, I also want this to help as many people other than myself as possible. So lets dive into Cygwin.

DISCLAIMER: This guide assumes some knowledge about computers, such as the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit architectures and how to determine your computer's architecture.

What is Cygwin?

This is the description of Cygwin from their own website:

Assuming new features are supposed to be pushed to origin/master.

Aims:
 * keep history simple (linear if possible, but make it easy to see
   multi-commit features)
 * avoid pull requests, allow any user to merge with master at any time
 * try to minimize branch shuffling during the process

1) Make sure you are up to date:
  git fetch

# Sometimes you need to move your existing git repository
# to a new remote repository (/new remote origin).
# Here are a simple and quick steps that does exactly this.
#
# Let's assume we call "old repo" the repository you wish
# to move, and "new repo" the one you wish to move to.
#
### Step 1. Make sure you have a local copy of all "old repo"
### branches and tags.
