Please add mentioning of winget installation method on https://git-scm.com/downloads

Problem

I did not find any other suitable place on GitHub to post this so forgive me if this is not the correct place.
(I have no intention for subscribing to a mailing list for providing this feedback).

Since recently the Microsoft winget cli for Windows Package Mager is available.

https://git-scm.com/downloads and https://git-scm.com/downloads/win do not provide information about the possibility to install Git for Windows via winget.

Git for Windows can be installed with the following winget command:

    winget install git

Please add this information to https://git-scm.com/downloads and https://git-scm.com/downloads/win

Operating system and browser

Windows 10, Microsoft Edge (Chromium)

Steps to reproduce

Not relevant.

Other details

Git for Windows can be installed with the following winget command:

    winget install git

Git for Windows can be upgraded with the following winget command:

    winget upgrade git

The winget-cli repository can be found here: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli

thanks for letting us know of this new package manager @lnlp ! would you be interested in contributing by adding this detail yourself?

[pedrorijo91]

it should be around this file https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/blob/main/app/views/downloads/download_windows.html.erb

would you be interested in contributing by adding this detail yourself?

No thanks. I have no experience with Ruby and its tooling so this will take too much of my time.

Just this file? I could add a few lines.

[pedrorijo91]

yes @adsingh14 :) thanks for looking into this

Do you think adding an official link will look better though it's multistep process like installing WSL on Windows?

[lnlp]

Not sure if the question was for me, but the question is not all clear.

[pedrorijo91]

sorry @adsingh14 , didn't fully get your question
