I have just installed:
https://github.com/babun/babun
in windows 8 but how do I upgrade Git to latest version?
It comes with
{ ~ } » git --version ~ git version 1.7.9
I did try:
pact install git-2.0.4.tar
Where git-2.0.4.tar is located in the current directory. I also tried to copy it too /setup but I still get this error:
{ ~ } » pact install git-2.0.4.tar
Working directory is /setup
Mirror is http://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/
setup.ini taken from the cache
Installing git-2.0.4.tar
Package git-2.0.4.tar not found or ambiguous name, exiting

If you're using Git version 2.14.1 or older, you must uninstall Git first. After that, download and install Git on your Windows machine again. If you're running anything from 2.14.2 to 2.16.1, run git update on your command prompt. For version 2.16.1 and latest, use git update-git-for-windows instead.
Update your local repo from the central repo ( git pull upstream master ). Make edits, save, git add , and git commit all in your local repo. Push changes from local repo to your fork on github.com ( git push origin master ) Update the central repo from your fork ( Pull Request )
The latest version is 2.33.0, which was released about 1 year ago, on 2021-08-30.
Update your installation by using Cygwin installer:
Reinstalling git might also work:
pact remove git
pact install git
Reinstallation is quicker, but the full Cygwin upgrade is safer because all the dependencies are also upgraded automatically.

Updated to the latest version of Git, 2.5.3, just now.
