Please note that Chocolatey essentially takes our portable Git and repackages it. As for proper package management, the Git SDK is based on MSys2 which sports the Pacman package manager ported from Arch Linux. Git for Windows is also available via a "Pacman" repository, and our installer essentially takes the contents of up-to-date packages and bundles them in an installer. Ciao, Dscho
