Excuse me, but I think GfW is not a good abbreviation for git-for-windows.
Because it can be easily confused with "great firewall" of China.
( "great firewall" is a part of Internet censorship project of China.)
(Here are some articles about it :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Shield_Project
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Firewall )
Maybe "GfWin" or "GforWin" is better.
