Re: [discuss] Git website instructions

I also think that the middle option ("Git from the command line and also 
from 3rd-party software") is the way to go.  The chief difference 
between the first and second options is that with the first option, you 
can only run git from the installed bash shell, whereas with the second 
option, you can *also* use git from the Windows command shell (i.e., 
cmd.exe).  That is useful for folks who use standard Windows 
command-line tools (e.g., scripting with batch files) and want to 
incorporate Git into their workflows.

The point of using Git Bash is not have to use Powershell, so not sure 
how using Powershell would be relevant to solving Git Bash 
installation problems. Commands in Powershell are different from Unix 
ones available under Git Bash. Being primarily a Linux user, I would 
prefer Git Bash very much over Powershell.
