We only distribute source, which various distributors may compile in a variety of forms. It sounds like, from the message, that you are probably trying to install Git for Windows, which is the most common distribution for Windows, and so I'd recommend that you report it to their issue tracker at https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues, after first checking to see if it's already been reported. They'll be able to better assist you with their specific installer and any issues you may have with it. --=20 brian m. carlson (they/them or he/him) Toronto, Ontario, CA --UwHM4Y4jx1uhYmUa Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.4.4 (GNU/Linux) iHUEABYKAB0WIQQILOaKnbxl+4PRw5F8DEliiIeigQUCZxKw6gAKCRB8DEliiIei garqAP4y/g1zuMquJypJeNuvDyH4tRuifYFlmqLYBC3+az9qaAD8CV68uYv5jde7 pkExLtxtFON1BPq8MjwzT2r8FlFaTgk= =5ijl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --UwHM4Y4jx1uhYmUa--
