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.

FWIW -- I always choose the middle one (over several different installations on both Windows 7 and 10). That has worked well for me. 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. *The Carpentries <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__carpentries.topicbox.com_latest&d=DwMFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=KegVEkA2ctAq0km1vjAxCdEFbMwuTmvOTW_VPYwXliM&m=ydnzTk4cY3pu_r2yFstxdPJHt4UhHNkSff8gEncsZZQ&s=-tPeC-4RjBKUawLpCvzGfq1wQGTGI-KX4afA86ckEgU&e=>* / discuss / see discussions <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__carpentries.topicbox.com_groups_discuss&d=DwMFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=KegVEkA2ctAq0km1vjAxCdEFbMwuTmvOTW_VPYwXliM&m=ydnzTk4cY3pu_r2yFstxdPJHt4UhHNkSff8gEncsZZQ&s=FmUIizIk4er7_eydgQzCAYdlt7xqvnf0if_j6EIgFuM&e=> + participants <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__carpentries.topicbox.com_groups_discuss_members&d=DwMFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=KegVEkA2ctAq0km1vjAxCdEFbMwuTmvOTW_VPYwXliM&m=ydnzTk4cY3pu_r2yFstxdPJHt4UhHNkSff8gEncsZZQ&s=c0NRqSWtb1j8rdp9cwnioRaJsdORKKH6hDpuspOUPBI&e=> + delivery options <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__carpentries.topicbox.com_groups_discuss_subscription&d=DwMFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=KegVEkA2ctAq0km1vjAxCdEFbMwuTmvOTW_VPYwXliM&m=ydnzTk4cY3pu_r2yFstxdPJHt4UhHNkSff8gEncsZZQ&s=BJHOJkc7ag4EIV3BH38r0Vnfxu4Wk96AgPhoJE2vslA&e=> Permalink <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__carpentries.topicbox.com_groups_discuss_Tdbe7b1d8f26530a2-2DMddbdb2124cbd72c779db011b&d=DwMFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=KegVEkA2ctAq0km1vjAxCdEFbMwuTmvOTW_VPYwXliM&m=ydnzTk4cY3pu_r2yFstxdPJHt4UhHNkSff8gEncsZZQ&s=xVyiGswrIGeBdj0YbGKpo4im9odtH8FDFABMFdG9noE&e=>
