I want to download this open source application, and they are using Git. What do I need to download the code base?
Update How do I change the working directory when I am using Git Bash? (I want to download the repo at a certain directory, using pwd tells me I will be downloading the repo where I don't want it.

Start from the github.com interface: Navigate to the repo that you want to clone (copy) to your computer -- this should be YOUR-USER-NAME/DI-NEON-participants . Click on the Clone or Download dropdown button and copy the URL of the repo.
On GitHub.com, navigate to the main page of the repository. Above the list of files, click Code. Click Open with GitHub Desktop to clone and open the repository with GitHub Desktop. Click Choose... and, using Windows Explorer, navigate to a local path where you want to clone the repository.
Download Git on Msys. Then:
git clone git://project.url.here Install mysysgit. (Same as Greg Hewgill's answer.)
Install Tortoisegit. (Tortoisegit requires mysysgit or something similiar like Cygwin.)
After TortoiseGit is installed, right-click on a folder, select Git Clone..., then enter the Url of the repository, then click Ok.
This answer is not any better than just installing mysysgit, but you can avoid the dreaded command line. :)
