You are right, Git for Windows is by random people. I don't know why I was so sure that it was a Microsoft product.

A lot of developer tools only work on Linux. That's why they provide WSL2, a Linux kernel.

It is shipped with VS. If this is your only interaction with it then that is an easy assumption to make.

In addition Git for Windows and MSYS2 are different projects, but Git for Windows ships a strapped down version of MSYS2, which is a bit annoying once you want to use anything else, as now you have two (incompatible) versions of MSYS2 around. I would like if they would backport Git for Windows into MSYS2 proper.
