From 4fe28c0e93ea492b95d418305ef339d56bfd3199 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "W. Trevor King" Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2014 10:01:01 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] swc-windows-installer.py: Generalize msysGit download link SWC's current setup instructions use both "Git for Windows" and "Git Bash" [1]. They link to the Git for Windows installer [2] and not the msysGit installer [3]. Since SWC has Make lessons [4], I think it makes more sense to have students installing msysGit (which has Make [5]) than to have them install Git for Windows (which does not have Make [6]). However, none of this matters for *this* Windows installer. Because this script works with both the full msysGit and the minimal Git for Windows, I'm sticking to msysGit (the more generic project name), and generalizing the suggested link to http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list.
